+# Call for Participation
+
+[EmacsConf 2023](https://emacsconf.org/2023/) will be a virtual conference on **December 2 and 3,
+2023 (Sat-Sun)**.  If you'd like to present at the conference, please
+[submit your proposal](https://emacsconf.org/2023/cfp/) by **September 14, 2023 (Friday)**.
+
+EmacsConf 2023 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: [2022](https://emacsconf.org/2022/talks/), [2021](https://emacsconf.org/2021/schedule/), [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/2023/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 2023 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 proficient enough to share their thoughts.
+If you let them know that you value their knowledge and experiences,
+and maybe even suggest something that you think others would like to
+hear about, they may realize that they do have something worth sharing
+and that we would love to hear from them.
+
+
+# Important dates

+
+If you are not available during the conference itself but you have a
+neat idea that you'd like to share, please propose it anyway!  You can
+always handle questions after the conference, and we might even be
+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/)!).

+
+
+# Talk formats
+
+We'd like EmacsConf 2023 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, add an outline of 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. Your proposal
+would include all three sections:
+
+-   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.
+
+(If you're planning a shorter talk, you don't need to describe longer
+ones.)
+
+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.
+
+This year, we'd like to experiment with accepting proposals throughout
+the CFP process, particularly for 10-20 minute talks. If there are
+similar proposals, we'll work with people so that the talks can cover
+different facets.
+
+
+# Preparing and submitting your proposal
+
+We're aware that it can be challenging and intimidating to prepare and
+submit a proposal to a conference, and we want to help make it less
+so.  Come say hi to us on our IRC channel `#emacsconf` on
+`irc.libera.chat`, and we'd be happy to try and answer any questions
+or concerns you may have about writing your proposal or submitting it.
+We'd also love to receive suggestions on how we can best help you and
+other prospective speakers interested in giving a talk at EmacsConf.
+
+Once you're ready to submit your proposal, the [submit](https://emacsconf.org/2023/submit/) page has the
+instructions on how to submit your talk.  The submissions will then be
+reviewed by a selection committee (please [let us know](https://emacsconf.org/contact/) if you would
+like to help review submissions as part of this 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.
+
+If you'd like to propose something other than a talk, like restreaming
+the conference, you can also use this CFP to share your ideas with us.
+
+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/2023/planning/) page
+and come say hi to us at `#emacsconf` on `irc.libera.chat`.
+
+Importantly, as EmacsConf continues to grow and receive increasingly
+more talk/session proposal submissions each year, we have thought
+about adding multiple parallel tracks during the conference days to
+accommodate the large number of sessions.  However, we're currently
+a very small team and we would need your help to do it!  If you're
+interested in helping stream a parallel EmacsConf track and have a
+reliable internet connection with decent speed and bandwidth, please
+[get in touch](https://emacsconf.org/contact/) with us so we can help get you set up for streaming.
+We'd also likely need more volunteers still for each track, for
+example a host for that track to announce the next talk (this can also
+be done by the streamer if the streamer is interested and able to) and
+another volunteer to help check in speakers of upcoming live sessions.
+
+If you are interested and able to help with any of the above, please
+reach out to us; we'd love to have your help!
+
+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 2023 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.
+Articles and documentation about the EmacsConf infrastructure are
+still underway, and will be announced on the emacsconf-discuss list
+when available.  If you are curious about the EmacsConf infrastructure
+or are interested in working on it, please join our `#emacsconf-infra`
+channel on `irc.libera.chat` and say hi!
