COSCUP 2016: Call for Presentation
Toward the Future: To inherit, lay the foundation, and break the boundaries

融通：傳承、扎根與跨界

（也有中文版)

COSCUP is the largest annual FLOSS conference organized by local communities in Taiwan (See the “About” section.) Besides the usual COSCUP talks, panels, unconference, workshops, and lightning talks, we’ve added a few new tracks in this year’s event, as shown below.

Important Info

“Toward the Future: To inherit, lay the foundation, and break the boundaries”

To Inherit

Apprenticeship has been around for ages, and there’s no exception in open source communities. In this year’s COSCUP, we would like to invite mentors and mentees to pair up and share their experiences. We believe those who learn from mentors should be confident in themselves, while mentors should grasp the opportunity to assist them in presenting their work. Topics are NOT limited in this track as long as it is related to open source. Submissions from mentors pairing up with mentees are especially welcomed. Recommendations would also be appreciated.

Lay the Foundations

Just finished a prototype, and eager to ask for advice from experts? Had an idea, but need people to help you bring it to life? This track may be one of the best opportunity to present something brand new. The sessions in this track are slightly longer than lightning talks, so that you can demonstrate your ideas / prototypes to a larger audience thoroughly — with a better chance to meet someone who love your work! Topics are NOT limited in this track as long as it is related to open source. We would also invite attendees interested in your proposal to your session.

Break the Boundaries

We solve problems in various ways. Sometimes we choose one among many, other times we pick more than one at a time. While some of us are fond of React.js, others may prefer Angular.js. But when it comes to data, we use both R and Python for parsing and analysis. Furthermore, we all know that supporters of Emacs and vi/vim are always debating against one another, but as far as we’re concerned, they see the good in the other tools as well. In fact, many technologies and tools share similar concepts, and by exchanging opinions, we get to understand more about the world, thus improving our skills and knowledge. This is one of the reasons why we hold COSCUP. Topics are NOT limited in this track as long as it offers insights across different aspects, as we say, “break the boundaries”. We welcome all kinds of experience sharing.

Apache Software Foundation Special Track

Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has been an unsung hero for many open source projects. This year, we are calling for proposals related to ASF projects, communities, organization management, and so on. If your proposal has something to do with ASF, please don’t forget to mention it within your submission.

COSCUP Workshop

Want to hold a workshop? While the talks are going on, we’d provide room for teaching, co-working, or preparing for your presentation. If you would like to reserve for a workshop session, please note in your submission and make sure we know how to contact you.

And also:

In addition to the formats mentioned above, we’re also looking for proposals concerning the following topics:

  • Open Source Development Experiences
    • New OSS projects introduction
    • Experience sharing to the newbies
    • How to make your projects more popular
    • How to cooperate with developers worldwide
  • Open Source Culture & related topics
    • Open source community experience
    • Open source-related legal issues
    • Open source software howtos, tips or hacking
    • UX & visual design for open source software
  • Open Source Governance & Open Data
    • Platforms for open source governance
    • Open source technologies for government
    • Culture and experience sharing for open government
    • Websites & apps with open data
    • Open data-related topics
  • Other free software / open source related issues
    • Any free software / open source topic not listed above is also welcome!

COSCUP 2016: Call for Presentation

融通：傳承、扎根與跨界

Toward the Future: To inherit, lay the foundation,
and break the boundaries

(Also in English)

 

今年的 COSCUP，徵稿方式更多元：我們思考 COSCUP 在開源乃至於技術研討會中的定位，在原有的「技術講演」、「邀請座談」、「工作坊」、「閃電秀」、「Unconference」之外，今年創新加上「傳承」與「扎根」兩類形式，作為今年的總主題 ——融通。

重要資訊

年度主題「融通：傳承、扎根與跨界」

傳承

師徒制一直都存在，我們也在社群裡經常看見有許多致力於協助新手提升的夥伴。今年 COSCUP，大會將邀請數組「師徒」同台分享：「徒」不必擔心技術不深或無人問津、「師」也可以藉此機會協助徒弟成果發表並登上講台。此議程軌主題不限，與 Open Source 相關即可，歡迎各地的師徒一同報名，也歡迎推薦大會可以主動邀約的對象。

扎根

辛苦研究的概念/雛形，但無人脈也缺乏有經驗的人給予指導，或想尋覓有興趣之士共同參與時，COSCUP的「扎根」軌會是絕佳展現舞台。「扎根」軌提供比閃電秀稍長的時間（15 分鐘），讓概念/雛形能夠展示，以獲得回饋，甚至媒合同好。此議程軌主題不限，與 Open Source 相關即可，大會也將引介相關主題的聽眾前往參與。

跨界

不同的人可能採取不同途徑、或者綜合許多方式來解決問題。你或許愛用 React.js，也或許對 Angular.js 情有獨鍾；講到數據，你拿手的是混用 R 與 Python 來擷取、分析資料；emacs 跟 vi 乃至於 vim 擁護者爭論已久，但彼此其實也互相學習。很多知識的「底」是一致的，交流可以促進瞭解、增強彼此實力，這也是 COSCUP 舉辦研討會的初衷之一。此議程軌徵求與「跨界」相關的主題，歡迎各路好手提供經驗。

特別徵求：Apache Software Foundation Special Track

Apache 軟體基金會是許多開源專案的幕後推手，今年將特別徵求與 ASF 的軟體專案、開源社群、大型組織管理等相關議題。如果您的議題與 ASF 相關，請別忘記投稿時勾選相關選項。

COSCUP Workshop

於大會期間，我們將提供社群專屬場地進行工作坊形式的會議，您可以用來教學、協作、做自己的演講分享規劃。有興趣者，投稿時請勾選「工作坊」並留下相關連絡資料，以供後續聯繫。

同步徵求

除了上述題目之外，我們也同步徵求下列主題的演講：

  • Open Source Developing Experiences
    • New OSS projects introduction
    • Experience sharing to the newbies
    • How to make your projects more popular
    • How to cooperate to the developers worldwide
  • Open Source Culture & related topics
    • Open source community experience
    • Open source related legal issues
    • Open source software howtos, tips or hacking
    • UX & visual design for open source software
  • Open Source Governance & Open Data
    • Platforms for Open Source Governance
    • Open source technologies for government
    • Culture and experience sharing for the open government
    • Websites & apps with open data
    • Open data related topics
  • Any other free software / open source related issues
    • Any free software / open source topic, not listed above, is also welcome!

關於 COSCUP  – 開源人年會

COSCUP 過去十數年來由華文各地社群共同舉辦，逐漸成長茁壯，已成為華文世界最重要的開源社群研討會之一。無論您是寫軟體的開發者、熱衷 FLOSS 的推廣者、熟悉 FLOSS 的使用者、還是想了解 FLOSS 的新手，都歡迎你來參加一年一度的開源人年會。研討會的目標是創造一個友善的、資訊豐富的環境，讓來自各社群的人可以結交朋友、學習新科技、並在會議中互相交流、激發新靈感。更多資訊，請見 http://blog.coscup.org
