CUFP 2015 Presentation Submission Form

If you have experience using functional languages in a practical setting, we invite you to submit a proposal to give a talk at the event. We’re looking for two kinds of talks:Experience reports are typically 25 minutes long, and aim to inform participants about how functional programming plays out in real-world applications, focusing especially on lessons learnt and insights gained. Experience reports don’t need to be highly technical; reflections on the commercial, management, or software engineering aspects are, if anything, more important.
Technical talks are also 25 minutes long, and should focus on teaching the audience something about a particular technique or methodology, from the point of view of someone who has seen it play out in practice. These talks could cover anything from techniques for building functional concurrent applications, to managing dynamic reconfigurations, to design recipes for using types effectively in large-scale applications. While these talks will often be based on a particular language, they should be accessible to a broad range of programmers.

I thought it was particularly interesting that you can propose a presentation or nominate someone to make a presentation. That may be standard at CUFP but I haven’t noticed it at other conferences. An innovation that could/should be adopted elsewhere?
BTW, while you wait for this year’s CUFP meeting, you can review videos from CUFP meetings starting with 2011 up to 2015. A very nice resource tucked away on a conference page. (see “Videos” on the top menu bar)
AccuWeather.com reports the June average temperature is between 66 and 70 degrees F. Great conference weather!
I first saw this in a tweet by fogus.
