For some examples, take a look at some previous presentations at +L. + +Please visit the home page for a list of key dates: +L. + +We've tried to include a range of streams for papers - please +select all that apply. If you think we've missed something obvious, +please let us know! You can contact the conference organizers at +L + +=head2 Instructions for Presenters + +B. These may be as simple as submitting the slides +you intend to present, although a detailed paper complementing your talk +matter would be preferred. + +Failure to submit a paper may result in speaker benefits being withdrawn. + +Classes and auditoriums include a projector and either a flip-board or a +white-board. You are expected to provide your own laptop. If you require +any additional presentational aids please contact us in advance. + +=head2 Presentation formats + +We will accept the following types of presentation: + +=head3 Lightning Talks (5 minutes) + +You don't need to submit a proposal for a lightning talk. These will be +organised a few weeks prior to the conference. Instructions will be +posted on the news page, please stay tuned for updates. + +Lightning talks are brief talks that focus on a single example, idea, +project or technique. Lightning talks are not expected to cover all +aspects of the subject. They're an excellent forum for first-time +speakers. + +=head3 Standard (20 minutes) + +This is the preferred format. This is enough time to cover a few issues +well and allows us to provide a good selection of talks throughout +the day. + +=head3 Long (45 minutes) + +Long talks are ideal for experienced speakers who want to cover a large +topic. + +If you choose the longer time slot please include include a justification +in your proposal. We reserve the right to ask you to change a long talk +proposal to be a standard length instead. + +=head3 Tutorial + +This year we're going to be holding two days of tutorials on Sunday and Monday, +18-19 February. If you would like to present a tutorial, please send your +proposal to the OSDC program committee at L Tutorial +presenters will receive free registration to the conference and an +additional remuneration to be determined. Tutorial materials will follow +the same schedule as papers below. + +=head2 Submission stages + +=head3 1. Proposals + +Your proposal will need to include: + +=over 4 + +=item * your name and a bit of bio info (include a bit about your qualifications regarding your presentation topic) + +=item * name of talk + +=item * a really brief summary of the presentation (around 30 words) + +=item * a description of what you expect to cover (around 200 words) + +=item * who your talk is likely to interest (some keywords) + +=item * likely topic of talk (track) + +=item * name and bio information of any co-authors + +=item * language the talk will be presented in + +=back + +Don't panic. We don't require you to have written the technology that +you want to talk about. If you use something in your day to day working +life and you think that other people might benefit from using it, then +feel free to propose a talk on it. + +To submit a proposal, please use the proposal submission form that +will be placed on L. You will need to log in, +or create an account if you don't have one already (instructions are +going to be on that page). + +=head3 2. Proposals acceptance + +Authors will be notified of the acceptance of their proposal by the +proposal acceptance date. Obviously we'd love to accept as many proposals +as we can, but we only have a certain number of sessions to fill. + +If you require faster confirmation of acceptance (for example, because you +are traveling from overseas and require extra time to make arrangements) +please communicate this to the organizers when submitting your proposal. + +=head3 3. Paper Submission + +B + +Speakers have the option of submitting either a paper or slides with +speaker notes. Papers are preferred. + +This submission is to be your final version, not a draft. A paper +submission should contain all of the usual aspects of a paper such as +an abstract, introduction, body and conclusion. Please ensure that this +submission has had its grammar and spelling corrected and that code +snippets work. + +Your paper allows attendees who attended your talk a chance to refresh +their memories about your presentation, and gives attendees who missed +your talk a chance to learn from you anyway. Make sure your paper includes +- at the very least - a brief introduction to your subject material and +a list of further resources. + +We would prefer that papers for standard length talks (20 minutes) be +no more than 4 A4 pages of 11-point type with reasonable margins and +papers for long talks (45 minutes) be no more than 8 pages. Appropriate +file formats include any file that can be read with Open Office (which +includes plain text and HTML with minimal mark-up), or POD. Slides +(even those accompanied by speaker notes) may also be printed in the +proceedings, but we cannot perform special formatting for you. + +By submitting a paper to be published in the proceedings, you are agreeing +to the OSDC Publication Agreement. (The agreement will be published later, +as a minimum you agree to publish your paper on the web site of OSDC +www.osdc.org.il and in the proceedings published by the conference.) + +=head3 4. Review results + +All papers will be reviewed. The purpose of review is to ensure that +papers are of a high quality and to aid our talk scheduling. The +purpose is not to identify spelling or grammatical errors or to test +code snippets, although errors may be corrected during the review if +found. Obviously, we'd strongly recommend you ask a friend or colleague +to give your paper a read through before you submit it. + +Once your paper has been reviewed, the review results will be provided +to you so that you can make the requested improvements for the published +version. + +=head3 5. Proceedings version + +This is the final copy of your paper as it will be printed in the +conference proceedings. + +=head2 Speaker Benefits + +All OSDC speakers (except for lightning talks) at OSDC will have their +conference registration fee waived. + +Note that it's important that you get your papers in by the due dates - +we reserve the right to withdraw the free registration if you don't get +it in on time. If you're having problems meeting the deadlines, please let +us know as soon as possible so that we can work with you to figure it out. + +If you're a student, please make sure that we know it. We may offer +prize(s) for the best student paper submitted. + +=head2 Contact details + +If you have any questions, please contact the OSDC organizers +at L + +Further information about the conference, how to write proposals, what +we mean by various words etc. can be found in Frequently Asked Questions. +L + +=head2 Tracks List + +These are the streams suggested by the proposal system.
