CFP Description
Overview
You are invited to propose a presentation/talk for Bangalore Monitoring and Observability Meetup to be held on Saturday, May 23, 2020. Our focus is on practical, applied observability practices. If you’ve got a topic or an idea that you’d like to talk about, write down an outline & submit it!
Topic Considerations
Our audience covers a wide range of the DevOps and Observability community, so the topics could range in the following categories:
- State of the union talks on state of a specific vertical of observability
- Logging
- Monitoring
- Tracing
- Raw Events
- eBPF
- Anomaly Detection
- Applied theories of system observation on stacks that you maintain
- Updates and nuances of Open source observability platforms that you use
- Any new unique developments in the field of observability (directly, not tangential progress)
We’re looking for talks that have a practical application and adoption, whether that’s a process you have to get things done more efficiently, any custom code you’ve written, or a tool you use. Show us how YOU do observability and why that’s valuable to our audience.
If you have a vendor-specific talk, your take-away can not be something proprietary to your product. In other words, spend time discussing the underlying observability problems the product is solving and review multiple options. There must be a ‘free’ option or at least a way to accomplish some of it with the built-in tools from that specific platform. Sales-pitches will not be accepted. We’re also not looking for a straight-up demo of a observability tool.
Ideal talks will have some sort of deliverable for the audience, something they can take back and apply to their real world problems. Practical actions, scripts / code, methodologies, commands, etc. that people can use after the talk and find value from – these are what the we will be looking for.
Selection is based on content, so submit a talk that helps the community to increase chances of getting selected. If not that, then make sure the take-aways from your discussion are awesome. If you have a talk that is extremely useful and practical for anyone to use today, then you’ve got great chances.
Here are some specific things we’re looking for in a good submission. Include these in the Description section below:
- An outline of the talk (The more detail you provide, the more confidence we’ll have that you’re worth listening to)
- A presentation (PPT / PDF / other slide decks)
- Have you given this talk at other conferences? If so, when & where?
- Is your company name mentioned at all after your Bio slide? If so, what’s the context & why?
- Are there any additional files or documentation you can link us to about your topic? (white papers, proof of concept, code, etc)
