Introduction:
Speaker release:
By submitting this proposal, I agree that my presentation at
EmacsConf 2023 is subject to the following terms and conditions:
The EmacsConf organizers may capture audio and video (a "Recording")
of my presentation and any associated materials, which may include
slides, notes, transcripts, and prerecording(s) of my presentation
that I provide to the EmacsConf organizers.
I authorize the EmacsConf organizers to distribute, reproduce,
publicly display, and prepare derivative works of the Recording and
any derivative works of the Recording (the "Licensed Materials")
under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0
International (CC BY-SA 4.0) license.
I grant to the EmacsConf organizers permission to use my name,
likeness, and biographic information in association with their use
of the Licensed Materials under the above license.
I represent that I have the authority to grant the above license to
the EmacsConf organizers. If my presentation incorporates any
material owned by third parties, I represent that the material is
sublicensable to the EmacsConf organizers or that my use of them is
fair use.
```
All kinds of people use Emacs for all kinds of things. We would 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 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.
The submissions will be reviewed by a selection committee. If you
would like to help review submissions as part of this committee,
please [[let us know|contact]]. We look forward to hearing from you
(and the people you want to nudge to speak)!
