<h2>Call for Proposals</h2>
<p>Our call for proposals is open until December 18. We're interested in hearing about any topic
around the CentOS ecosystem, including from projects built on or with CentOS. Talks may be either
25 or 50 minutes long. We generally prefer shorter talks, but allow longer talks for more technical
deep dives.</p>
<ul><li><a href="https://cfp.fedoraproject.org/proposal/150">Submit a session proposal</a></li></ul>
<p>We are also hosting meetups on the morning of Thursday, February 1. Meetups are designed for

either 2 hours (quarter day) or 4 hours (half day). All meetups are public to all attendees.</p>
