INTRODUCTION

BSDCon Brazil (http://www.bsdcon.com.br) is the Brazilian BSD powered
and flavored conference held in Brazil.

The first edition was in 2003
(https://www.freebsd.org/events/events2003.html) and it brought together
a great mix of *BSD developers and users for a nice blend of both
developer-centric and user-centric presentations, and activities. The
2015 edition will be even more fun!

This year BSDCon Brazil will be held from 9-10th October 2015, in
Fortaleza (CE). The very first edition with people coming to Brazil from
all around the globe!

OFFICIAL CALL (http://bsdcon.com.br/call-for-papers)

We've got extra room for the conference! Now we are proudly requesting
proposals for even more presentations.

We do not require academic or formal papers. If you wish to submit a
formal paper, you are welcome to, but it is not required.

Presentations are expected to be 45~60 minutes and are to be delivered
in Portuguese (preferred), Spanish or English.

The proposals presentation should be written with a very strong
technical content bias. Proposals of a business development or marketing
nature are not appropriate for this venue and will be rejected!

Topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to:

[*] Automation & Embedded Systems
[*] Best Current Practices
[*] Continuous Integration
[*] Database Management Systems
[*] Device Drivers
[*] Documentation & Translation
[*] Filesystems
[*] Firewall & Routing
[*] Getting Started to *BSD Systems
[*] High Availability
[*] Internet of Things (IoT)
[*] IPv6
[*] Kernel Internals
[*] Logging & Monitoring
[*] Network Applications
[*] Orchestration
[*] Performance
[*] Privacy & Security
[*] Third-Party Applications Management
[*] Virtualization
[*] VoIP
[*] Wireless Transmissions

We are waiting to read what you got! Please send all proposals to:

submissions@bsdcon.com.br

The proposals should contain a short and concise text description. The
submission should also include a short CV of the speaker and an estimate
of the expected travel expenses.

- Do not forget to tell us your host city;
- If your quotes are in another currency than Brazilian Reais,
please inform the day you got the prices for proper conversion.
- We've got speakers who will pay for their own flight;
