Hello embedded Linux developers, This is a reminder about the deadline for submitting proposals for Embedded Linux Conference 2025. The deadline is: Sunday, February 16 at 11:59 pm Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7) The conference will be held on June 23-25 in Denver, Colorado, USA. This year, ELC is "embedded" in Open Source Summit North America. (See what I did there?) For general information about the conference, see https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-north-america/ The CFP ends shortly (Feb 16), so please consider making a session proposal soon! We are looking for presentations on a wide variety of topics related to embedded Linux, ranging from boot-time to security, from distributions and build systems, to hands-on experiences, and from aerospace to robotics to consumer electronics, to name just a few. I'm personally very interested in topics around boot-time this year. The CFP has a more comprehensive list of suggested topics. Please see: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-summit-north-america/program/cfp/ for details. Please note that we have available some tips for proposal authors. See https://elinux.org/Tips_for_ELC_presentation_proposals for details. Following these tips will help improve the chances of your proposal being accepted. I look forward to seeing your proposals, and seeing you in Denver later this year! Thanks, -- Tim Bird - ELC Program Committee Chair P.S. A lot of our European developer friends are currently focused on FOSDEM. I apologize for the overlap in event attention. When you're done with FOSDEM, please consider what you might want to talk about at ELC, and submit a proposal. P.P.S. Please note that the CFP for ELC North America says it is also the CFP for ELC Europe. However, we have decided that we will issue a second CFP for ELC Europe, despite what the current CFP says.
