Opens Oct 19 2023 12:23 PM (PDT)
Deadline Nov 25 2023 12:30 PM (PST)
Description

Kubernetes Community Days (KCDs) are community-organized events that gather adopters and technologists from open source and cloud native communities for education, collaboration, and networking. KCDs are supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). These fun, locally-defined events help grow and sustain the Kubernetes community.

Here are the important details for the 2024 KCD Kerala:

  • When: Saturday, February 03, 2024
  • Where: Kochi, Kerala
  • Venue:  Le Méridien, Kochi
  • In-person, limited live streaming.
  • Available speaking opportunities
    • [#] 30-minute main talks (must leave at least 5 minutes for Q&A)
    • [#] 15-minute lightning talks
    • [#] 40-minute panel discussion

First time submitting? Don’t feel intimidated!

KCD Kerala is an excellent way to get to know the community, share your ideas, and demonstrate your work. You don't need to be a chief architect or long-time industry pundit to submit a proposal; in fact, we strongly encourage first-time speakers to submit talks for all of our events.

Consider the Following as You Write Your Proposal: 

  • What do you expect the audience to gain from your presentation?

  • Why should YOU be the one to give this talk? You have a unique story. Tell it.

  • Explain how this fits into Kubernetes Community Days and the overall Open Source Ecosystem. 

We definitely don't expect every presentation to have code snippets and technical deep dives. However, here are two things that you should avoid when preparing your proposal. They're almost always rejected because they take away from the integrity of the event and are rarely well-received by conference attendees:

  • Sales or Marketing Pitches

  • Unlicensed or Potentially Closed-Source Technologies 

There are plenty of ways to give a presentation about projects and technologies without focusing on company-specific efforts. Remember the things to consider that we mentioned above when writing your proposal and think of ways to make it interesting for attendees while still letting you share your experiences, educate the community about an issue, or generate interest in a project.

Thanks for your interest in submitting for KCD Kerala. Please fill out the CFP form by clicking the green "Apply" button above. If you have any questions, please get in touch with the organizing team at organizers-kerala@kubernetescommunitydays.org and/or organizers@kcdkerala.in.
