Welcome back to the island!

We're looking for shorter talks (between 15-25 minutes) with a focus on practical lessons for DevOps practitioners. Be creative, be delightful -- Animal Crossing is a delightful place, so let's reflect that in our submissions!

• What have you learned during the pandemic, about DevOps, about yourself, about the world?
• How have you grown as a DevOps practitioner over the past year, and how can we learn in this changing world?
• How are you sharing information? How are you building resilient teams in the face of an unrelenting world?
• Is there joy in DevOps? Should there be?

For some ideas, check out the talks from last year!

Format

Each speaker will have a 30-minute total session. This includes live Q&A.

Requirements

You must:

• Have the ability to dial into a Zoom meeting and present your slides live on the day of the event.
• Be able to attend both a test session the week before and your scheduled speaking time on the day of the event.
• Agree to the Deserted Island DevOps Code of Conduct
• Have a Nintendo Switch and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Note

Some scholarships are available if you'd like to speak, are an URM, and don't have the console/game software. Please note in your submission if this is the case. Talks are evaluated on the abstract, not need.
