+# Call for Proposals
+
+[EmacsConf 2021](https://emacsconf.org/2021/) will be a virtual conference on **November 27 and 28,
+2021 (Sat-Sun)**.  If you'd like to present at the conference, please
+[submit your proposal](https://emacsconf.org/2021/cfp/) by **September 30, 2021**.
+
+EmacsConf 2021 is about the joy of [Emacs](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) and Emacs Lisp.  Come share
+your experiments and adventures with the Emacs text editor / operating
+system / way of life!  We welcome speakers of **all backgrounds** and
+**all levels of experience**, including newcomers giving their first
+talk.  What have you found exciting about Emacs lately?  What do you
+wish someone had told you when you were starting out?  What part of
+your workflow might inspire someone to get into Emacs or go deeper?
+
+A great way to get started with writing a proposal is to start by
+exploring the programs from previous years: [2020](https://emacsconf.org/2020/schedule/), [2019](https://emacsconf.org/2019/schedule/), [2015](https://emacsconf.org/2015/schedule/), [2013](https://emacsconf.org/2013/#program).
+You might also find some neat ideas on the [ideas](https://emacsconf.org/2021/ideas/) page.  Feel free to
+add yours there too!  If you're still not sure, come by our IRC
+channel `#emacsconf` on `irc.libera.chat` and say hi.  You can join
+the chat using [your favourite IRC client](ircs://irc.libera.chat:6697/emacsconf), or by visiting
+[chat.emacsconf.org](https://chat.emacsconf.org) in your web browser.
+
+All kinds of people use Emacs for all kinds of things.  We'd love it
+if EmacsConf 2021 could highlight interesting perspectives and reflect
+the diversity of our community.  If you know someone who might have a
+good idea for a talk, please reach out to them and encourage them to
+submit a proposal.  Many people (especially from underrepresented
+groups such as women, people of colour, non-developers, etc.) might
+not consider themselves expert enough to share their thoughts.  If you
+let them know that you value their knowledge and maybe even suggest
+something that you think others would like to hear more about, they
+may realize that they have something worth sharing and that we would
+love to hear from them.
+
+
+# Important dates
+
+For EmacsConf 2021, we are planning for 9am to 5pm Toronto/EST
+(2pm-10pm UTC) on November 27 and 28.  Depending on people's
+availability, it might be two half-days.

+If you are not available during the conference itself but you have a

+able to coordinate with other Emacs meetups for regional events (if
+you're an Emacs meetup organizer and would like to make this happen
+let's [get in touch](https://emacsconf.org/contact/)!).
+
+Please note that although we will try our best to stick to the above
+dates in the coming months, given the current state of the world, we
+may have to move things around a bit in case of unforeseen events.
+Thank you for your patience and understanding.

+
+# Talk formats
+
+We'd like EmacsConf 2021 to inspire lots of different people to
+explore lots of different things in Emacs.  We hope to put together a
+stream of quick ideas followed by lots of conversation over IRC and/or
+Q&A sessions, with occasional deep dives into topics that many people
+might find interesting or useful.
+
+As you think about your talk, consider what you can share in:
+
+-   **Up to 10 minutes total:** What is the core idea?  What do you want
+    people to do or remember?  You can show just enough to get people
+    interested and then point them to where they can learn more
+    afterwards.  You can answer questions over IRC, the pad, or the
+    wiki, and there's no limit to how long that conversation can go.
+
+-   **Up to 20 minutes total:** How would you flesh out some of the points
+    from your 5-10 minute presentation?  How can you show the pieces
+    working together?
+
+-   **Up to 40 minutes total:** What would benefit from a deep dive?
+    How do you keep it engaging?
+
+When writing your proposal, please write an outline of what you plan
+to talk about if you have 5-10 minutes.  If you'd like to propose a
+longer talk, outline what you might include if you had more time to
+present (up to 40 minutes, including Q&A).
+
+Here's an example for a potentially 40-minute talk:
+
+-   5-10 minutes: quick demo of the abc package working together with
+    xyz package.
+-   20 minutes: same as above, with some customization options to
+    accommodate a different workflow.
+-   40 minutes: all of the above, including modifying the behaviour of
+    the package in order to add something new.
+
+This flexibility would help us in devising the conference schedule so
+that as many people as possible could get a chance to present their
+ideas, while still allowing for featuring longer deep dive talks.
+
+Other session formats such as tutorials, workshops, and hangouts are
+welcome as well, in case you would find those other formats preferable
+to a traditional talk format.  If you're interested in these or other
+session types, please let us know [publicly](https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-org) or [privately](https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-org-private).  We'll be
+happy to work something out with you.
+
+
+# Office hours
+
+We're aware that it can be intimidating to submit a proposal to a
+conference, so we thought we'd try to help!  This year, we're opening
+up the doors of our virtual offices for you to come talk to us about
+your proposals with hopes of helping you with any hurdles you may be
+facing with preparing your proposal.
+
+We'd like to publish a schedule of availabilities of volunteers for
+holding office hours.  Currently these volunteers consist of some of
+the EmacsConf organizers, but we'd love to have the help of other
+members of the Emacs community as well.  If you are a more experienced
+Emacs user and would like to help with this, please [get in touch](https://emacsconf.org/contact/)!
+
+You can find the schedule for upcoming office hours (along with other
+Emacs events) at <https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Usergroups> .  You can
+also get an iCal feed at
+<https://emacslife.com/calendar/emacs-calendar.ics> or get HTML/Org
+files in various timezones at <https://emacslife.com/calendar/> .  When
+in session, the office hours will be held in this BigBlueButton room:
+<https://bbb.emacsverse.org/b/ban-qye-fd1-5kw>.
+
+
+# Submitting your proposal
+
+Once you're ready to submit your proposal, the [submit](https://emacsconf.org/2021/submit/) page has the
+instructions on how to submit your talk.
+
+We use an anonymized submission process to reduce bias and encourage
+contribution.  Identifying information will be removed from
+submissions by a conference organizer who will not participate in
+talk selection.  The anonymized submissions will then be reviewed by
+a selection committee.
+
+If your talk is approved, we'd love it if you could help us make sure
+the conference runs smoothly.  After we email you with the time
+allotted for your talk, we'll ask you to
+
+-   prepare a prerecording of your talk, or record it with our help if
+    that'd be easier for you; and
+-   schedule a short tech-check if you'd like to be able to answer
+    questions in a live session.
+
+Don't forget to subscribe to our main mailing list, [emacsconf-discuss](https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-discuss),
+for discussion and announcements about the EmacsConf conference.
+
+We look forward to your ideas and submissions!
+
+
+# Getting involved
+
+If you would like to help with the conference (planning the sessions,
+reviewing proposals, helping with infrastructure, making sessions more
+accessible, editing video transcripts, etc.), see our [planning](https://emacsconf.org/2021/planning/) page
+and come say hi to us at `#emacsconf` on `irc.libera.chat`.
+
+In addition to the [emacsconf-discuss](https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-discuss) list, feel free to subscribe to
+[emacsconf-org](https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacsconf-org) as well, for discussions related to organizing the
+conference by the EmacsConf organizers and volunteers.
+
+We'd really appreciate your help in making EmacsConf 2021 the best one
+so far!
+
+
+# Commitment to freedom
+
+We remain fully committed to freedom, and we will continue
+using our infrastructure and streaming setup consisting entirely
+of [free software](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html), much like previous EmacsConf conferences.
+An article describing our infrastructure and tools is underway,
+and will be announced on the emacsconf-discuss list when published.

+* COMMENT How to export this file  :noexport:
+
+As of the time of writing this document (Org mode version 9.3.7), the
+Org links library (=ol.el=) does not yet recognize =ircs= link types,
+and will throw an error if you try to export a file containing them,
+such as this file.
+
+To work around that, you can use something along the lines of the
+Emacs Lisp code below, by either adding it to your init file, or by
+putting the point in the code block and hitting =C-c C-v e= (that is,
+hold Ctrl, then hit c followed by v, then release Ctrl, and hit e) to
+evaluate the code, working around the issue only for the current
+session.
