</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Organisers of the Seattle GNU/Linux Conference (SeaGL) invite KDE community members to speak at their annual conference. SeaGL is a grassroots tech conference dedicated to spreading
knowledge about the GNU/Linux Community and free/libre/open source software and hardware.</span></div>
<div><br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This is a good opportunity to reach people from outside the usual KDE audience, making it a great chance to grow your application's userbase, increase the number of contributors
to your project, or raise awareness within more companies of the technologies you develop. Seattle is, after all, one of the US's main tech hubs.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Organisers welcome speakers from all backgrounds and encourage first-time and inexperienced speakers. As this year's SeaGL is online, you can submit your proposal directly on their
site and you won't have to worry about making any travelling arrangements. Check out further details on their website.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">They also offer support to prospective speakers on freenode (#SeaGL channel) at noon (Seattle time, so UTC-7) on Wednesdays until the CFP is closed. If you want assistance outside
these hours, email the organisers at cfp-help@seagl.org. </span></div>
