When are the BOF Sessions?

BOF sessions at PDC09 are held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (November 17-19) during the daytime in the same time slots as the regular conference sessions. There will be a room dedicated to BOF sessions throughout the conference.

How Do I Propose to Host a BOF Session?

You do not have to be a subject matter expert in order to host a session, although you need to have a genuine interest in the topic. You may propose more than one session, however, preference will be given to other submitters so as many people as possible have the opportunity to host a session. Only registered conference attendees or those planning to register by November 1, 2009 can submit session proposals.

How are the BOF Sessions Selected and Scheduled?

Session proposals will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis starting Tuesday September 1, 2009 through Friday, October 31, 2009 at 5:00 PM PDT, or until all available time slots are filled. Selections will be made on a rolling basis.  Selection and scheduling of the sessions is done by a volunteer organizing team of developer community members from INETA: all decisions are final. Submitters will be notified by email when their proposal is received and no later than Monday November 1, 2009 whether their session was accepted or declined. You must be willing to host a session in any of the conference time slots. Your session will not be finalized until you are registered for the conference.

The BOF session proposal form and additional instructions will be posted here before September 1st so check back.
