In a couple of months in Bari will take the second edition of ‘our’ WordCamp. The other day, as organizers, we begun spreading our Call for Speakers … and today I’m here to convince you to come and participate!
What we’d like to learn / listen / discuss
Any kind of talk is welcome. As you may have seen on WordPress.tv or participating to a WordPress meetup in your city the overall mood is friendly and informal. But if you’re new to our kind of events there’s no problem, here’s a list to inspire your proposal:
- Web Development (event not related to our preferred CMS)
- any topic regarding Software Free/Libre Open Source
- any topic regarding the legal aspects of running a website (GDPR, Selling and Privacy Laws, Taxes)
- WordPress Community
- WordPress themes and plugins development
- SEO
- Security
- WordPress and its future
- Performance
- Best Practices
There are two kind of talks
Really, we have two main formats for the talks::
- Regular – 30 minutes, of which about 20 for the talk itself and 10 for Q&A
- Extended – 45 minutes, of which about 30 for the talk itself and 15 for Q&A
Choose freely the one you like!
Talks’ voting
Once the Call comes to its deadline, we gather and anonymize all the talks proposed – hey, did I tell you can submit more than one talk ? – and the organizers will have a list of titles and abstracts to vote. The talks with most preferences are officially invited to our Speakers’ roaster … Organizers will not know who will talk about ‘topic A’ until the voting are over, so to avoind any kind of favoritism.
Of course we will also try the widest range of proposals, so we will not have 10 talks about plugin development since we’re gonna try to have a thing for anyone coming.
So be creative and entertainign while proposing your talk. Sympathy is a good arrow to your bow.
We are anxious to read it
