Subject: 2024 OLF Conference Call for Presentations

The 2024 OLF Conference is looking for presentations on Friday and
Saturday, November 15 and 16.  Please visit the CFP page
<https://olfconference.org/call-for-presentations/> for full details
about submitting a proposal.  The initial deadline is noon on Friday,
September 27 - proposals can be submitted after that time but may not
receive full consideration.

This is an in-person event, but we plan to stream presentations as
well.  We *strongly* prefer in-person presentations but are willing
to consider remote presenters.

Started in 2003, the OLF Conference <https://olfconference.org/>
(formerly known as the Ohio LinuxFest) is an annual grassroots event
in Columbus, Ohio dedicated to open access for all.  Presentations
relating to any free and open source software, not just Linux, are
welcome.  Areas where we've had talks in the past include networking,
system administration, development, and community building.

Our audience consists of people at all skill levels.  Prior speaking
experience is a plus, although we do try to provide opportunities for
first-time speakers.  If you have any questions, please contact us at
<speakers@olfconference.org>.  We look forward to hearing from you!
