The CFP for RICON West, happening this October in San Francisco, is officially open. We'll be accepting proposals until July 1st. To submit a proposal send an email to ricon@basho.com with “RICON West CFP” in the Subject line and the following:
- Your name
- Your proposed talk title
- Your abstract
- Your bio
- Anything else you deem necessary
Who should be submitting talks? RICONs are all about Riak and distributed systems theory and practice. If you and your team are solving problems in/around those areas, we want to hear from you. Take a look at RICON West 2012 or the recently-concluded RICON East 2013 for an idea of what “Riak and distributed systems theory and practice” encompasses.
A few things to keep in mind when putting together your talk proposal:
- Each talk is 45 minutes. How you use this is up to you.
- Basho will be paying round trip airfare and two nights lodging for all accepted speakers (in addition to providing your pass)
- All talks will be live-streamed and recorded for posterity. If you're not comfortable with this, please don't submit a talk.
We're looking forward to hearing from you. Until then, check out the growing-list of confirmed speakers and grab yourself a ticket before the early-bird price disappears.
Thanks for being a part of RICON.
