We’re excited to share the first part of the SeaGL 2021 program with you—our keynote speakers!
Taking the virtual stage this year are:
- Marie Nordin
- Christine & Morgan Lemmer-Webber
- Elana Hashman
- Cory Doctorow
Some of these names are new to SeaGL and some have spoken here before.
But all of them will be giving great talks that you don’t want to miss.
As in years past, the Program Committee selected keynote speakers from your nominations.
We thank everyone who gave us suggestions.
For the other talks, all speakers have been notified.
Once we have confirmation, we’ll be able to share the schedule with you.
We can’t wait to see you online November 5–6!
We’re incredibly excited to announce that we’re hosting lightning talks at SeaGL this year!
Think of this space as a great opportunity to learn about fun topics, or even present your own talk.
It’s a great way to get comfortable with speaking to an audience or to explore the kernel of an idea that could become a full-length talk at SeaGL 2022!
The lightning talks will be a series of 5 minute talks which will be pre-recorded - meaning
that we can accommodate speakers from all over the world!
We’re looking for any community focused talks.
A few examples are:
- Tech examples: Event organization, coding, design, documentation, open source, etc.
- Non-tech examples: non-profit work, hobbies/programs (eg. community gardens), sports teams, theater, etc.
Our one request is that there are no promotions of any kind - meaning, please no video resumes, no company/product promos, etc.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you, our community. Please submit your talk ideas as soon as possible,
as we will be reviewing them on a rolling basis.
Hello SeaGL community,
Some of you might be getting multiple emails from us. We want to apologize for the unintended mailings. Some changes were made to past conference schedules as part of a general clean up. We were working on an archive page that was disconnected from OSEM, our conference software. Unfortunately, there were no notifications from OSEM that emails were being sent to the community.
We are currently working on a shim to stop any emails from going out until all updates are done. Thank you so much for your patience. You can reach out to us on our usual communication channels.
Need a little more time to get your proposal together for SeaGL 2021?
Good news!
We’ve extended the submission deadline to August 19.
This gives you two more weeks to submit a talk proposal about free software, security, tech culture, community, and more!
If you need some ideas, check out our suggested topic categories.
If you have questions about the Call for Proposals process or want feedback on your talk proposal, we have one more office hours session.
Join us in chat or on video at seagl.org/meet at 3:00 PM Pacific on Saturday, August 7.
If you can’t make the office hours, email your questions to [email protected] any time.
When you’re ready to submit, our CfP portal is ready for you!
