Do you have a favorite technology you’d like to introduce others to?  An area of technology where you’re the go-to nerd because you have so much knowledge to share?
Today, the
SouthEast Linux Fest Call For Participation (CFP)
opens.  If you have ever thought of speaking at SELF, if you’d like to host a BoF (Birds of a Feather meetup) for some FOSS community, or you want to organize a panel to bring in multiple perspectives on a subject, we want to hear from you!
