Summary

Create a blog post announcement and open a Call for Proposals for the first The Future is Open conference in October 2019

Background

Related to #84.

We have selected final dates and are ready to open a call for proposals (CfP) for the conference. The next step is to get the word out. @whenbellstoll is working on a blog post announcement to publish on our website along with a CfP form to start collecting proposals.

Details

  1. Draft blog post announcement
  2. Test it with Jekyll before publishing
  3. Merge pull request on FOSSRIT/fossrit.github.io on Tuesday, May 21

Outcome

  • Start building the hype for the mini-conference
  • Start collecting proposals for what content we will feature

@ritjoe Hey we were working on the Call for Proposals today, we have a draft for the announcement, if you wanted to take a look at that and give some feedback link here

The article has been published on FOSS@MAGIC and the form is available to fill out, closing the issue
