The CE Linux Forum would like to invite you to make a presentation at our upcoming Embedded Linux Conference. The conference will be held April 12-14, 2010 in San Francisco, California.
Please see the embeddedlinuxconference.com ELC 2010 web site for more information about the conference.
Presentations should be of a technical nature, covering topics related to use of Linux in embedded systems. The CE Linux Forum is focused on the use of Linux in consumer electronics products, but presentations may cover use of Linux in other embedded areas, as long as the topic is of general relevance to most embedded users.
Presentations that are commercial advertisements or sales pitches are not appropriate for this conference.
Presentations on the following topics are encouraged:
Most presentation slots are 50 minutes long, including time for questions.
A paper submission is NOT required in conjunction with the presentation. However, if a paper is produced, it is requested to be published in wiki format on the Embedded Linux Wiki
You may also submit a request to present a tutorial. Tutorials are intended to be longer, interactive learning sessions. A tutorial may occupy more than one session slot at the conference.
You may also submit a request to be the session leader for a "Birds Of A Feather" (BOF) session. This is an informal discussion on a topic of group interest. For a BOF proposal, please describe the topic area you would like to discuss. You should come prepared to help move the discussion along with a "lead in" presentation (a few slides) or some thought-provoking questions.
Finally there will be a "poster" demo session at the event. The demo session consists of table-top demos, with an accompanying poster describing each demo. In this session, the demonstrator can interact with individuals or small groups, describe their work and answer questions.
We prefer presentations that have not been previously presented, but exceptions will be made for material that is either of great interest or has been seen previously only by a limited audience.
A single person may submit more than one proposal. However, since the number of slots is limited, it is likely that at most one proposal from an individual will be accepted.
For examples of presentations from previous years' conferences, see:
For information about previous demo sessions, see the ELC 2009 Technical Showcase page
Presentations will be in rooms with 1024×768 XGA data projectors. Please bring your own laptop for your presentation. Please contact us if you have further requirements.
Speakers for presentation and tutorial sessions, as well as leaders of BoF sessions, will receive complimentary professional registration for the conference. That is, if you make a presentation or lead a session, you get into the rest of the conference for free! Please note, that if a session has multiple speakers, only the primary speaker for that session will receive free admission.
Please note that event admission includes access to the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit, which is normally an invitation-only event.
Travel and accomodation assistance is available for a limited number of speakers, under certain circumstances. Please contact the e-mail address below if you believe your circumstances would qualify you for this assistance.
All presentation, tutorial, demo and BOF proposals will be reviewed by the ELC program committee, and submitters will be notified of their acceptance (or not) by February 5, 2010.
Proposals will be assessed on a number of criteria:
To submit a presentation proposal, send an e-mail to elc10@tree.celinuxforum.org

If you are submitting for someone else, please provide an e-mail address for the presenter.

Proposals for presentations, demos and Birds-of-a-Feather sessions must be received by January 15, 2010.
