Presentations

The first day of the conference will be set aside for presentations. If you would like to give a talk, submit a proposal via email to matt@mahrens.org, including a 1-2 paragraph abstract. We welcome proposals for any kinds of talks related to ZFS, and we are particularly interested in fostering a diverse group of speakers. In the past, the most popular talks have featured internal details of new or upcoming features in OpenZFS. If you're new to the OpenZFS community or just new to giving talks at conferences, mentorship is available to help make your presentation the best it can be.

Matt Ahrens will review all of the submissions and select talks that will be most interesting for the audience. The registration fee will be waived for speakers.
