Panel submissions must include the names of all participants in the
initial submission to be considered. In an effort to promote speaker
diversity, The Linux Foundation does not accept submissions with
all-male panels, and speakers must not all be from the same company.
</li>
<li>
Complimentary Passes For Speakers – One complimentary pass for the
event will be provided for each accepted speaker.
</li>
<li>
Avoid sales pitches and discussing unlicensed or potentially
closed-source technologies when preparing your proposal; these talks
are almost always rejected due to the fact that they take away from
the integrity of our events, and are rarely well-received by
conference attendees.
</li>
<li>
All accepted speakers are required to submit their slides prior to the
event.

<TabHeading className="mt-6">
Preparing to Submit Your Proposal
</TabHeading>
<p className="mb-4">
While it is not our intention to provide you with strict instructions on
how to prepare your proposal, we hope you will take a moment to review
the following guidelines that we have put together to help you prepare
the best submission possible. To get started, here are three things that
you should consider before submitting your proposal:
</p>
<ul className="mb-4 list-disc space-y-2 pl-6">
<li>What are you hoping to get from your presentation?</li>
<li>What do you expect the audience to gain from your presentation?</li>
<li>How will your presentation help better the ecosystem?</li>
</ul>
<p>
There are plenty of ways to give a presentation about projects and
technologies without focusing on company-specific efforts. Remember the
things to consider that we mentioned above when writing your proposal
and think of ways to make it interesting for attendees while still
letting you share your experiences, educate the community about an
issue, or generate interest in a project.
</p>
<TabHeading className="mt-6">How to Give a Great Talk</TabHeading>
<p>
We want to make sure submitters receive resources to help put together a
great submission and if accepted, give the best presentation possible.
To help with this, we recommend viewing seasoned speaker Dawn Foster's
in-depth talk:{" "}

.
</p>
<TabHeading className="mt-6">
Have More Questions? First Time Submitting? Don't Feel Intimidated
</TabHeading>
<p>
Linux Foundation events are an excellent way to get to know the
community and share your ideas and the work that you are doing and we
strongly encourage first-time speakers to submit talks for our events.
In the instance that you aren't sure about your abstract,{" "}
