   8 <h2> Call for Sessions</h2>
   9
  10 <p>The Call for Sessions for LibrePlanet 2015 is open from <strong>Monday, September 15th, 2014</strong> to <strong><s>Sunday, November 2nd</s> Sunday, November 9th, 2014 at 19:59 EST (23:59 UTC)</strong>.</p>
  11 <p>This year, the theme of LibrePlanet is "Free Software Everywhere." We're looking for talks that touch on the many places and ways that free software is used around the world, as well as ways to make free software ubiquitous. Think "where" in the broadest sense of the word--it's not just geography-based talks we're after. What are some contexts where free software is thriving, and some others where it needs a push? How have you worked to gain a foothold for free software in your company or community? And what about free software on all of the myriad pieces of hardware we use, including laptops, phones, tablets, and even coffee makers? At LibrePlanet 2015, we're taking software freedom around the world, to outer space, and through all kinds of industries, governments, organizations, fields of study, and communities.</p>

  13 <h2>Should I submit a session proposal for LibrePlanet?</h2>
  14
  15 <p>Yes! We encourage speakers of all experience levels to submit a proposal. LibrePlanet is a great place for new and seasoned speakers alike. While LibrePlanet always includes technical talks, our program also emphasizes topics that are appropriate for newcomers. We are especially interested to see proposals from people who use free software or apply its values for social benefit, from academic research to community organizing, education to medicine and the arts. </p>
  16 <p>While we do not provide honorariums for our speakers, speakers are eligible to apply for travel scholarships (see our list of important dates for more info). So yes, please submit a proposal even if you live far away and aren't sure you can afford a plane ticket!</p>

  30 <li>Sharing a story of how free software has been applied for social benefit</li>
  31 <li>Tackling a threat or organizing challenge facing the free software movement</li>
  32 <li>Demonstrating a new and exciting piece of software or development within an existing software project</li>
  33 <li>Engaging youth, the future of the free software movement. We're looking for proposals for all age groups, from young children, to high school age, to college students</li>
  34 <li>Thinking critically about challenges and opportunities facing the movement, and charting a path to victory</li>
  35 <li>Bringing a key part of free software history to life</li>
  36 <li>Giving newcomers a way to learn about free software principles and philosophy, and/or giving newcomers a way to start using free software in their daily lives</li>
  37 </ul>
  38
  39 <p>At LibrePlanet, we are looking for sessions that embrace the free software movement's ideals and also its language. For example, successful proposals will use phrases like "free software" and avoid phrases like "open source." </p>

 460
 461                                         <p>Panels are typically 1 ½ hours long and are composed of three or more
 462                                           people who want to engage deeply with a particular question, challenge,
 463                                           or theme. Describe your proposal, how it relates to the conference
 464                                           theme, and what you hope participants will gain from your presentation.
 465                                           We encourage you to propose a full list of panelists from diverse
 466                                           backgrounds. In addition to you own biography, please use the "Presenter
 467                                           bio(s)" field to include biographical and contact information for each
 468                                           panelist and indicate whether you have approached them about
 469                                           participating in your panel. If accepted, we will work with you and
 470                                           connect you with similar proposals. In some cases we may combine
 471                                           proposals or add speakers to a proposed panel.</p>

 473                                         <p><strong>Workshops</strong></p>
 474
 475                                         <p>Workshops are generally 1 ½ hours long and are submitted by one or
 476                                           more people who have an intersectional, interactive presentation to
 477                                           share. Workshops take many formats – from software or hardware
 478                                           demonstrations, to workshops for new contributors, to skillshares and
 479                                           tutorials. If you are submitting a proposal for a workshop, please
 480                                           describe the goals and take-aways for the session. In addition to you
 481                                           own biography, please use the "Presenter bio(s)" field to include
 482                                           biographical and contact information for each panelist and indicate
 483                                           whether you have approached them about participating in your workshop. </p>

 485                                         <p><strong>Strategic Action Sessions</strong>  </p>
 486
 487                                         <p>Strategic action sessions are generally 1 ½ hours long and provide a
 488                                           space for activists to learn from each other’s organizing work and share
 489                                           strategies, successes, and challenges. Examples of strategy sessions
 490                                           might include: starting a local user group, discussing how to message
 491                                           free software to political activists, sharing PR best practices to
 492                                           promote free software, among others.  </p>
