• Call for Proposals - MiniDebConf Online #2: Gaming Edition

    From jonathan@bluemosh.com@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 2 19:20:01 2020
    Hi Debianites!

    The second Online Mini-DebConf, centered around the theme
    of gaming on Linux, will take place on 21 and 22 November, 2020. If you
    love games, and would like to contribute a talk, then please submit a
    talk proposal via our website[1]. Talk slots will be 20 minutes or 45
    minutes long,
    including time for questions. We would prefer talks to be pre-recorded,
    with a live Q&A session. If you have a strong
    preference, then it's also possible to perform the talk live. In that
    case, please make sure that you have a reliable
    computer and Internet connection.

    We are particularly keen to hear about the following topics:

    * Gaming engines

    * Game development on Linux or Debian

    * Content/asset creation using free software tools

    * Games already packaged in Debian or are viable to
    be packaged

    * Compatibility and performance tuning for running games
    on Linux

    But don't let that list limit you, creativity is encouraged!

    What we need from you:

    1. A title (doesn't have to be perfect, can be
    tweaked again closer to the event)

    2. A short (2-3 sentences) summary of your talk

    3. What timezone you are in (talks will run from
    10:00 - 20:00 UTC, Sat & Sun)

    The majority of our audience will be comfortable hearing
    talks in English, although talks in other languages are
    welcome too.

    To help us with scheduling, please send your talk proposal by
    23 October. We may be able to accept late proposals too, if
    there is still space left on the schedule. If in doubt, feel
    free to reach out to the content team via e-mail[2].

    Hope to see you there, it will be fun!

    -Jonathan, from the MDCO#2 content team
