Hey, y'all ๐Ÿ‘‹ I would like to formally announce that we're opening our Call for Session Proposals for this year's Collab Summit during Open Source Summit North America.

Submitting a new Session is available through here, and the coordination of this year's summit is happening here.

It is essential to mention that we will have the venue from 9 am to 5 pm, and this Summit will happen on the 9th of May. You must also be a registered attendee at the leading conference to attend the Summit. Snacks and refreshments will be provided. Also, this year's summit will count on two rooms to hold two sessions simultaneously.

For this year's summit, we invite the member projects of the OpenJS Foundation to take part in submitting talks with topics varying from community work, D&I, impact work and other topics that each project might believe to have a meaningful impact through the Summit. The venue will provide equipment such as microphones and projectors, and as the last edition, we're also offering remote attendance via Zoom.

For the individual contributors of our project members that lack the monetary conditions to attend in person, please feel free to request travel sponsorship through our member travel fund.

Please be advised that we're accepting session proposals till the 2nd of April, as depending on the number of sessions; we might need to decide which sessions should be prioritised.

If you're in doubt about submitting a session proposal, please feel free to reach the Cross Project Council, as we would love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you so much and we hope to see you in person or virtually for our Collaborator Summit!

Hey y'all ๐Ÿ‘‹ (cc @openjs-foundation/cpc), we're soon closing applications of session proposals for this edition of the Collab Summit! The deadline (not a hard one, but possibly the last day we'd like to accept new proposals) would be the 16th of April.

This would likely give you all enough time to submit some sessions still and the organisers of this year's summit (@ruyadorno and me) to plan the schedule and be able to evaluate sessions if we have too many sessions (more than we have room for).

Thank you!
