Hi again!

Julien Lepiller <julien <at> lepiller.eu> skribis:

> +##### Until February 8: talks proposal
> +
> +Propose your talks by sending them to `guix-days <at> gnu.org`.  Feel free to drop
> +in `#guix` on irc.freenode.net to discuss what you would like to talk about

Should be irc.libera.chat.

A couple of ideas occurred to me while biking this morning:

> +We welcome all kinds of topics from the community, especially your own experience
> +with Guix, your cool projects that involve Guix in some way, infrastructure around
> +guix (translations, continuous integration, ...), and any subject you feel
> +should be discussed during the conference.

What about adding something like:

  We particularly encourage people who consider themselves part of a
  group underrepresented in Guix and the broader free software movement
  to submit a talk; do not hesitate to get in touch with the organizers
  at `guix-days <at> gnu.org` if unsure or if you would like guidance on how
  to prepare your talk.

  Please make sure your talk is accessible to a non-expert audience, for
  instance by explaining the general context before diving into
  technical descriptions, and by avoiding acronyms and jargon.

?

After the first sentence above, I also thought about that one:

  We accept talks in languages other than English provided English
  subtitles are included.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.
