This year CppCon is increasing the number of\u00a0Open Content sessions. In addition to the early morning and evening sessions offered last year, we’ll also be offering Open Content session over the lunch break.<\/p>\n

Open Content is just that, open! Attendees and regular program speakers alike can propose sessions on anything that interests them. These might feature\u00a0a single facilitator leading a room through an exercise, activity or demo, a panel of 3-5 people taking questions from the room, a \u201chackathon\u201d on a specific project, or an open conversation among the whole room. The projector is available\u00a0for slides or note taking.<\/p>\n

Open Content is designed for flexibility so that a\u00a0“Birds of a Feather” talk may\u00a0be proposed even after the conference has begun. A speaker who gets a lot of post-talk questions may agree to host a Q&A session in the Open Content time. An attendee inspired by a session may host a session to explore a topic further or start on a group implementation of something.<\/p>\n

To propose a session, simply email open-content@cppcon.org<\/a><\/strong> and tell us the title, description, and speaker(s)\/moderators(s). If you have time constraints such as “after a specific session” or “not on the same day as a specific session” let us know in the email. (For example, someone who will be grilled at Grill The Committee on\u00a0Monday\u00a0can’t do an open session Monday\u00a0evening.)<\/p>\n

These sessions will be open in another way too \u2013 Open<\/strong>\u00a0Content does not require conference registration<\/strong>. That’s right, everyone who is in the area is welcome to come and join us for all the evening\/lunch sessions, including proposing or leading a session. This is part of our goal to be an inclusive conference for the entire C++ community.<\/p>\n

For now, please email your submissions as soon as you can so that our planning work can get underway. See you in Bellevue!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
