> standard document format, on topics such as code, localization, QA, UX,
> tools, extensions, migrations and general advocacy. Please keep in mind
> that product pitches are not allowed at FOSDEM.
> 
> The length of talks is limited to a maximum of 25 minutes, as we would
> like to have some minutes for questions after each presentation, and to
> fit as many presenters as possible in the schedule. Exceptions must be
> explicitly requested and justified. You may be assigned LESS time than
> you request.
> 
> IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS
> 
> - Presentations have to be pre-recorded and tested for streaming before
> the event.
> - Once your talk is accepted, someone will help you to produce the
> pre-recorded content.
> - Contents will be reviewed to ensure they have the required quality,
> and uploaded before January 15, to be prepared and ready for broadcast.
> - During the stream of talks, speakers must be available online for the
> Q/A session.
> 
> TALK SUBMISSIONS
> 
> All talk submissions have to be made in the Pentabarf event planning
> tool: https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM21.
> 
> While filing the proposal, please provide the title of your talk, a
> short abstract (one or two paragraphs), some information about yourself
> (name, bio and photo, but please do remember that your profile might be
> already stored in Pentabarf).
> 
> To submit your talk, click on “Create Event” and select the
> “LibreOffice” DevRoom as the “Track”. Otherwise, your talk will not be
> even considered for any devroom at all.
> 
> If you already have a Pentabarf account from a previous year, even if
> your talk was not accepted, please reuse it. Create an account if, and
> only if, you don’t have one from a previous year. If you have any issues
> with Pentabarf, please contact italo at libreoffice.org for help.
