The inaugural GitLab Commit conferences are coming this fall, and I'm thrilled to invite you to attend and speak. GitLab will be heading to Brooklyn and London, and the Call for Papers for both events is now open. We believe that everyone can contribute, and so we want to hear from you, so apply now to share your insights, innovations, and inspirations. But don't wait too long; the Call for Papers closes on Friday, July 19 at 11:59 PM Pacific.

Our community is essential to GitLab, and your unique points of view are what will power great GitLab Commit events. If you need help with your submissions, feel free to reach out to me directly on Twitter – @pritianka – or send an email to the Commit team at [email protected]. We're delighted to support and elevate your voices.

Below is more information about the event. Check out what we're cooking up, and I look forward to seeing all of your talk proposals!

GitLab Commit brings together the GitLab community to connect, learn, and inspire. You’ll learn about exciting new technologies and hear how creators like you are innovating the future of software development.


Session types
We're accepting proposals for 35-minute lectures or panels, 20-minute live coding demos, 10-minute lightning talks, and ideas for 35-minute 'birds of a feather' discussions.

Tracks
Cloud native
Learn how to leverage cloud native technologies like Kubernetes, severless, and multicloud to build and run applications better and faster.

DevOps in action
Expect to walk away with practical advice and examples of how others navigated their DevOps transformations. These sessions focus on actions and results rather than high-level ideas.

Live coding
These adrenaline-pumping sessions will feature doers on stage, live coding, debugging, and hacking. Join along on your laptop or just enjoy the show.

Powered by GitLab
Software has eaten the world, and we are all better for it. Hear how developers like you are building on GitLab to solve large-scale problems across the world, from humanitarian crises to space exploration.

Looking for inspiration?

Here are some ideas to help you get started:

The single application for cloud native: How you utilize multiple (not necessarily all) GitLab product stages from Manage to Plan, Create, Verify, Package, Secure, Release, Configure, Monitor, and Defend your software DevSecOps lifecycle

Planning and managing DevOps: Tips, tricks, and lessons learned about how to organize, plan, and deliver across groups and projects. Share how you estimate, plan sprints, create boards, and keep your project moving forward.

Social coding: DevOps is a team effort – we learn from each other. In this track learn how to master Git, code reviews, and innersourcing to make it easier for you to share and ship faster.

Automated, secure, and reliable applications: From CI and CD to security, automation is the foundation of DevOps transformation. In this track, we are exploring best practices and insights into what it takes to rapidly iterate and deliver at the speed of business.

Cloud native and Kubernetes: GitLab + Kubernetes = Awesome

Deadline
The Call For Papers closes July 19!
