When you're ready to submit your talk proposal, send your submission
via email to <emacsconf-submit@gnu.org> including at minimum these
essential information:

- your (preferred) name,
- the title of your talk,
- a short handle ("slug") for your talk (for use in file names and
  URLs),
- an abstract of your talk (500 words or less), and
- confirmation of your agreement with releasing the recording of your
  talk from the livestream on the day(s) of the conference, along with
  any associated material publicly, under the Creative Commons
  Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) free culture
  license.  Associated material may include slides, notes,
  transcripts, and prerecording of your talk (if you had sent me one).

All kinds of people use Emacs for all kinds of things. We would love
it if EmacsConf 2020 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. Many people (especially from underrepresented groups such as
women, people of color, and non-developers) 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.

This year, we are experimenting with an anonymized submission process.
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.
We hope this will help reduce bias and encourage contribution. We look
forward to hearing from you (and the people you want to nudge to speak)!
