[Benny Siegert <bsiegert%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hi all,

apologies if you are getting this message more than once. EuroBSDCon 2022 
CfP is now open, the conference is planned to be in person. Please 
consider submitting a talk proposal if you have something NetBSD-related 
to speak about.

----

The EuroBSDcon program committee is inviting BSD developers and users to submit
innovative and original talk proposals not previously presented at other
European conferences. Topics of interest to the conference include, but are not
limited to applications, architecture, implementation, performance and security
of BSD-based operating systems, as well as topics concerning the economic or
organizational aspects of BSD use. Presentations are expected to be 45 minutes
and are to be delivered in English.

EuroBSDCon is the European technical conference for users and developers of
BSD-based systems. The conference is scheduled to take place September 15-18,
2022 in Vienna, Austria. The tutorials will be held on Thursday and Friday to
registered participants and the talks are presented to conference attendees on
Saturday and Sunday.

The Call for Talk and Presentation proposals period will close on May 26th,
2022.  Prospective speakers will be notified of acceptance or otherwise by June
1st, 2022.

The EuroBSDcon program committee is also inviting qualified practitioners in
their field to submit proposals for half or full day tutorials on topics
relevant to development, implementation and use of BSD-based systems.

Half-day tutorials are expected to be 2.5 to 3 hours and full-day tutorials 5
to 6 hours. The tutorials and talks are to be held in English.

Submit your proposal through the registration system at
https://registration.eurobsdcon.org.

Proposals should contain a short and concise text description in about 100
words as well as a short speaker bio.

Accepted papers and presentations will be published on the conference web site
as soon as feasible during or after the conference. We encourage submitters to
consider writing up a formal paper for this purpose in addition to making a
presentation.

While we urge prospective speakers to seek funding from employers or other
benevolent sources, the conference does have a budget for covering reasonable
travel and accommodation expenses for speakers, with accommodation to the
extent possible provided at the primary speaker hotel (see the Accommodation
page on the conference website). Speakers who will be applying for travel
funding should also submit an estimate of expected travel expenses. Use the
ʽRequirementsʼ field (follow the ʽDo you require something special?ʼ link).
Please see the Speaker Reimbursement Policy page at
https://eurobsdconfoundation.org/speaker-reimbursement-policy/ for details.

Please also note that due to visa issues in the past, we would like to know as
early as possible of any visa requirements for speakers. Please check the
Austrian Visa Application Requirements site at
https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/austria-visa/ for guidance.
