Our submission process uses <a
href="https://eldarion.com/symposion/">Symposion</a>, an open source conference
software. After making an account (so we know how to contact you and keep track
of the submissions process), you can submit your talk which will be reviewed by
our relevant volunteer track coordinates and Software Freedom Conservancy staff.
And a reminder that FOSSY will require all use of proprietary software to be
indicated on slides and any physical materials present. We think it's
important for the conference to be as FOSS focused as possible and this
reversal of assumption that any software mentioned is FOSS by default, is our
way to handling this.
## How to propose a talk
1. <a href="/speaker/create/">Sign-up and complete your speaker profile</a>. You
can always come back and update your profile later.
2. Visit the <a href="/dashboard/">Dashboard</a> and under "New Proposal",
select the track you'd like to participate in. Then complete the details of
your proposal.
The volunteer track organisers and Software Freedom Conservancy staff will
review your proposal and get back to you after the Call for Proposals has
closed.
Our CFP will remain open until May 28th and we hope to hear from you.
