Call for Proposals

On stage

We are looking for you to come on stage and talk about all things Cocoon. People who want to present during the GetTogether are kindly requested to send in a presentation proposal. Presentation topics will be screened for cluefulness, in the sense that we don't want any commercial presentations.
Introductory, tutorial-like stuff into new or advanced topics are much appreciated though. Please send in your presentation proposal to info at cocoongt.org - see below for a template to help you in filling out a proposal.
