CFP Description

Important notice on proposal submission

The number of proposal submissions per person is limited to up to 3. If the submitter posts more than 4 proposals, we pick 3 submissions per submitter in time ascending order and don’t take other submissions later than that into consideration.

プロポーザルは1人あたり上限3件までとさせていただきます。3件以上投稿された場合には、投稿時間が時系列順で早いものから3件を選考対象とし、それ以降は対象といたしません。

Also we call for proposals for Lightning Talks and Office Hours.

  • Lightning Talks: 5 minutes time limit

Languages

Most of attendees’ primary language may be Japanese, but most of them can listen to understand English.

英語で募集しておりますが、日本語での登録はもちろん可能です。

Selection Criteria

Proposals will be reviewed based on the selection criteria below.

  1. Relevance: The talk is relevant to the Go community. GoCon is not a general software conference, our audience wants to hear about topics that relate to the Go programming language.
  2. Clarity: You’ve clearly explained what you are going to talk about.
  3. Correctness: You’ve demonstrated knowledge of your topic. You don’t have to be an expert, but you are expected to be speaking from experience.
  4. Achievability: You’ve thought about how to present your material in the time available. Impact. The goal of the talk. What new idea, technique, tool, or information will the audience leave your presentation with?

Note: This clear selection criterion is based on GopherCon’s one. Thank you.

Advice for authors

You can fix your submission until the deadline after submitting. We recommend submitting early to receive early feedback from reviewers.

Supplement

  • Do not write about how great the Go anymore.
  • Session for beginners is welcome.
  • Please don’t criticize other languages or give excessive product descriptions. Please talk technical details.
