Don’t Fear the CFP

Matty Stratton on December 22, 2017

This post is based upon a talk I gave at DevOpsDays Detroit 2015. Deciding to submit a talk for consideration at an event can be a troubling thing...

Wow, great advice. I've had a talk brewing in my head for a while but dragging my feat on submitting anything -- this is a nice reminder :)

Thanks for sharing this. When speaking, sometimes I fear the the projects I've done won't be interesting to someone else because they've already been tried (and blogged about), or people already know a better way to do what I'm talking about. But usually I get one or two people that come up and say they learned something afterwards, and that makes it worthwhile :)

Thanks, Matt. Really nice post. I will be speaking at my first conference in december. And I will give a talk and a one hour workshop as well. Your tips will be very helpful.
Thanks again.

Thanks for sharing these tips, Matt!

They are perfect for a few talks I'm planning to do for beginners at my college when the next quarter starts.
