We’re now accepting speaker applications for WordCamp Austin 2014! Submission deadline is February 21st and we’ll annouce the speaker lineup on March 1st. If you’re interested in speaking at a session, please fill out the form below. Please use the comments to suggest a speaker you would like to see.

What we think makes an awesome speaker:

• A love of WordPress, of course! And the desire to give back to the community
• Comfortable giving a presentation
• Expertise in your topic that makes you stand out
• Embrace the WordPress license. If distributing WordPress-derivative works (themes, plugins, WP distros), any person or business should give their users the same freedoms that WordPress itself provides. Note: this is one step above simple compliance, which requires PHP code to be GPL/compatible but allows proprietary licenses for JavaScript, CSS, and images. 100% GPL or compatible is required for promotion at WordCamps when WordPress-derivative works are involved, the same guidelines we follow on WordPress.org.
