OSCON celebrates, explains, and demonstrates the power of open source technologies from the inception of languages and frameworks up through their use in the enterprise. We invite you to join us as we bring together a large community of contributors, learners, and users.

Please submit original session and tutorial ideas that share your technology passions. Proposals should include as much detail about the topic and format for the presentation as possible. Detail matters; vague proposals face an uphill climb. Share with us WHO you are, WHY you’re excited about open source, and WHY we should get excited about seeing you speak!

These are just guidelines and suggestions—but we love to be surprised. If you want to submit a great proposal, see our tips on how to submit a proposal. The deadline for submissions is 23:59 (BST) on 23 May 2016.

Developer or programmer
Systems administrator
Hacker or geek
Enterprise developer or manager
IT manager, CxO, or entrepreneur
Trainer or educator
