ConFoo 2013—Call for Papers is Now Open!
Posted by James Edward Gray II on 7 Sep 2012
ConFoo is one of the most important developer-oriented conferences and
includes Ruby content. ConFoo 2013 will be held on February 25 through
March 1 in Montreal, Canada.
The team just opened its call for papers. Candidates can submit proposals until September 23. Consult the call for papers page for details and to start submitting. That page also explains what expenses ConFoo can cover for speakers. You can even get advice on how to write proposals.
The call for papers is public, meaning that all proposals get published on the website for others to vote and comment on. This approach allows the organizers to pick subjects that have most interest in the community. The comments are only visible to speakers and organizers to avoid influencing the votes.
To stay in touch via Twitter, follow @confooca and use the #confoo tag. You can also help promote the event with these cool badges for your site.
