    #CallForPapersCfP_ #Flock #Flock2024 #releases

  8. Apply now for the Flock to Fedora 2024 Call for Proposals (CfP) at cfp.fedoraproject.org. This year, Flock is using Pretalx as our CfP system. If you submitted a proposal to DevConf CZ this year, it will feel familiar. The submission deadline for the Flock 2024 CfP is Sunday, April 21st, 2024.

    What are Flock 2024 CfP reviewers looking for?

    Flock 2024 will continue to have three tracks like last year, and we are also introducing themes as optional descriptions for proposals. These tracks and themes help the Flock 2024 CfP reviewers select diverse programming for the conference schedule.

    Flock 2024 tracks

    Main Track
    The usual main track of Flock. Everything and anything to do with the Fedora contributor community. Presentations, talks, workshops, and more.

    Tip: At Flock, interactive sessions that include attendee participation receive extra preference over traditional lecture-style talks.

    CentOS and Friends
    A dedicated track for the CentOS community and other downstream friends. This focuses more to an Enterprise Linux audience, including topics about EPEL.

    Fedora Mentor Summit
    (Saturday, August 10th) Half-day event focused on mentoring best practices. Mentor Summit programming focuses on workshops and sessions to promote mentorship best practices and to connect mentors and mentees across the Fedora community.

    Flock 2024 themes

    New this year, the Flock reviewer committee is introducing themes for submitters to choose from. These themes tie into focus areas of the Fedora Strategy 2028. The strategy was co-created with the community on Fedora Discussion and we are excited to share an overview and first comprehensive look at the Fedora Strategy 2028 this year.

    When submitting, you’ll be asked to associate your proposal with one or more of these themes:

    • Accessibility (a11y): Fedora websites and docs use the current best-practices for a11y. Fedora Linux Editions use the best-available open source a11y tech. Our project tooling follows best a11y practices.
    • Reaching the World: Fedora Linux is available pre-installed on more systems from more vendors. Fedora Linux is widely available in cloud providers and CI services. Fedora maintains a strong network of thriving local communities around the world.
    • Community Sustainability: Everyone in Fedora can have a mentor, and everyone in Fedora can be a mentor. Modernize our communications tooling.
    • Technology Innovation and Leadership: Fedora is a popular source for containers and Flatpaks. Immutable variants are the majority of Fedora Linux in use. We integrate programming language stack ecosystems.
    • Editions, Spins, and Interests: Each Edition has a story for each release. It’s trivial to create and maintain a new Fedora Spin or Remix. More (active) SIGs, fewer images.
    • Ecosystem Connections: Better collaborative workflow with CentOS Stream. Get people working on downstreams directly involved in Fedora as an upstream. Collaborate on tooling, practices, and offerings with peer distros and upstream projects.

    Associating your proposal with these themes will help reviewers understand how your session fits into the broader conference topics. If you do not see your work perfectly represented here, don’t be discouraged.
