Regular Session and Academic Track proposals due

A reminder to all FOSS4G attendees - the proposal submission deadline
for both the Academic Track[1] and Regular Sessions[2] is next
Tuesday, April 15th. For the Regular Sessions, we strongly recommend
reviewing our advice[3] for successful proposals before submitting.

The community voting on the Regular Sessions will directly follow the
deadline, April 18th to 28th.

Travel Grant Announcement

We realize that traveling to and attending a conference can be
expensive, and that not everyone who uses or develops open source
software has provided funding to pay their way or the means to pay for
it themselves. To make sure that as many deserving people as possible
can attend FOSS4G, we're creating a travel grant program[4] with funds
to cover registration and travel costs. Watch for details coming soon.

One additional reminder: Early Bird Registration[5] is open!
