CHOOSE ONE (1) TRACK
OSS + ELC is an umbrella event for open source projects and developer communities to come together under one roof for important collaboration and education.
You will be asked to select the "track" in which you’d like to submit. Each proposal may be submitted to only one track, so please review all carefully before making your selection. We understand some proposals could potentially fit into multiple tracks. Don’t worry, our program chairs are working together to move proposals around as needed for additional review.
NO PRODUCT PITCHES PLEASE
Please be sure your submission focuses on open source embedded technologies and/or projects, not products specific to your company. We will not select any talks that look like product or vendor pitches.
OPEN SOURCE ONLY
As this is an open source event, talks submitted based on closed or proprietary systems will not be reviewed.
