What we are looking for

We’re inviting proposals for lectures, demos, tutorials, workshops, discussions, and panels for FOSSMeet’20. Separate proposals will be taken for one-hour sessions by professionals and thirty-minute talks by students. Upvotes will not be considered in the selection procedure.
