   <li><strong><em>Open Space session</em></strong> : even without a prepared presentation we welcome the discussion and interaction by having people propose a session on the fly during Open Space. Check the <a href="/pages/open-space-format">Open Space explanation</a> for more information.
 </ol>
 
-### Even if you don't propose, please consider {{< event_link page="proposals" text="commenting on proposals submitted by others" >}}
+<strong>How to submit a proposal:</strong> <br><br>
 
-Our main criteria to make it to the top selection are:
+<p>If you are a registered speaker from a previous <a href="http://www.socallinuxexpo.org">SCALE</a> or DevOpsDay LA event, you can re-use your account from the previous submission with out signing up for a new account (and you can skip the next paragraphs).</p>
 
-- _original content_: content not yet presented at other conferences, or a new angle to an existing problem
-- _new presenters_: people who are new to the space and have insightful stuff to say; we want to hear everybody's voice
-- _no vendor pitches_: as much as we value vendors and sponsors, we just don't think this is the right forum. You can demo at your table or during Open Space.
+<p>For first-time submitters, <a href="https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/user/register">"Create a new account"</a>. You will be asked to provide your name name, affiliation, bio, and an email address of the speaker. Please ensure that the personal biography is not more than 1000 characters; focus on relevant experience to your proposal topic and write from the third-person perspective.<br/><br/>
+Once registration is complete, an email will be automatically sent to the email-address to set the password for subsequent access.
+</p>
+
+<p>To submit a talk, login and click link labeled <a href="https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/node/add/presentation">Submit a presentation</a>.</p>
+<p>Enter the title for the talk, the intended audience, and select <strong>DevOps</strong> as the <strong>TOPIC</strong>. Then provide a brief description of the main points to be presented. Provide additional details in the space provided. Also, include the names of all speakers that will present this session. Each speaker must be registered with the system before they can be entered in the "speaker" field.</p>
+
+<p>Once the talk has been submitted, further edits to the submission can be made, if necessary, up to the CFP closing date by logging into the account with the credentials provided during registration. Be sure to include an email for the primary contact for the presentation. Important information will sent to that address.</p>
+
+<p>In the notes to reviewers section, please indicate if you are submitting a session, ignite talk,
+or open space session. Additionally please notify us if the presentation will require a special technical set-up. The standard setup provided will include:
 
-<strong>How to submit a proposal:</strong> Send an email to [{{< email_proposals >}}] with the following information
 <ol>
-	<li>Proposal working title (can be changed later)</li>
-	<li>Type (presentation, panel discussion, moderated general discussion, debate, etc.,ignite)</li>
-	<li>Description or abstract</li>
+<li>microphone</li>
+<li>projector</li>
+<li>a laptop running Linux with a postscript viewer as well as OpenOffice (you may bring your own laptop if you prefer)</li>
 </ol>
-<strong>Rules:</strong>
-<ul>
-	<li>Be specific... we aren't mind readers (a description of about 20 lines is about right)</li>
-	<li>Detail is good... but not as important as explaining why your proposal would be interesting</li>
-	<li>Propose your own talk; don't have someone else do it for you.</li>
-	<li>Nominations welcome... if you know someone who has content/experience relevant to the DevOps conversation, please point us in their direction!</li>
-	<li>Multiple proposals welcome... just follow the other rules</li>
-</ul>
+</p>
+<p>
+If you run into any problems during the submission process, for help, please email us at
+<a href="mailto:devopsdayla-planning@googlegroups.com">devopsdayla-planning@googlegroups.com</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Proposal abstracts are reviewed by our organizing committee and evaluated solely on merit.
+Given the number of high quality submissions received every year, we request that submission dates
+be strictly honored in order to provide the committee enough time to choose the best set of
+proposals.</p>
+

 DevOpsDays is a self-organizing conference for practitioners that depends on sponsorships. We do not have vendor booths, sell product presentations, or distribute attendee contact lists. Sponsors have the opportunity to have short elevator pitches during the program and will get recognition on the website and social media before, during and after the event. Sponsors are encouraged to represent themselves by actively participating and engaging with the attendees as peers. Any attendee also has the opportunity to demo products/projects as part of an open space session.
 <br>
-Gold sponsors get a full table and Silver sponsors a shared table where they can interact with those interested to come visit during breaks. All attendees are welcome to propose any subject they want during the open spaces, but this is a community-focused conference, so heavy marketing will probably work against you when trying to make a good impression on the attendees.
-<br>
 The best thing to do is send engineers to interact with the experts at DevOpsDays on their own terms.
