申請規則

議程表內容

歷年來 COSCUP 演講時間皆供不應求，因此我們不希望講堂刻意留空。申請此案代表您承諾將填滿所配發的議程時間。每段社群議程之配發時間約 3-6 小時左右，確定的時段將依據申請狀況略有調整，容後公佈。排設議程時，每段議程時間長短、是否有休息時間等，由社群自行決定。
社群議程的協調人需在6月9前以前完成議程表時間分配。
如果您沒有信心稿件能填滿全天議程，請與其他社群共同申請，或在申請書上註明希望 COSCUP 協助配對，我們會盡力而為但無法保證。

議題投稿

通過申請後，您需要在 03 月 24日前提供徵稿時所需的資訊（例如希望有哪類稿件、有沒有特殊欄位等等），COSCUP 將統整後一併發佈徵稿消息及表單。所有稿件皆須透過 COSCUP 的表單填寫（即使是您自行邀請的亦同）。

COSCUP 將盡可能為所有演講錄影，這些影片將在會後以創用 CC 姓名標示，並請個社群自行剪輯影片，我們之後會提供剪輯影片說明文件。影片完成後將以 CC BY 4.0 版公開釋出。如果特定講者要求不可錄影或直播，請謹慎考慮是否收納，並徵得 COSCUP 議程組同意後方可收入議程軌。

協調人與必備工作人員

請在申請時填上兩位社群成員的姓名與聯絡方式，作為此社群在大會期間議程的協調人。在申請通過後，此兩位將成為大會主要的聯絡窗口。在社群議程進行時，至少要有一位協調人留在講堂，負責該時段的相關行政事宜。

COSCUP 的攝影組將不擔保為每位講者拍攝照片，如有需求請社群自行派員協助拍攝；申請社群必須協助確保講廳內的錄影器材持續運作、正確錄製影片。因應無紙化愛護地球，COSCUP 大會近幾年已使用電子版議程，贊助商的廣告將會在使用者閱讀議程資訊時在旁隨機播放。

社群合作

COSCUP 希望利用更多元的溝通與合作方式，讓大家有更好的合作感受與體驗！今年調整的合作項目有：

社群 open hour：以 Online meeting 形式，利用發送 Google Meet 給個社群，讓社群夥伴們直接上線問問題，同時若有大事項需要跨社群同步的會議，將會於 open hour 進行。針對 COSCUP 的最新動態、規劃與資訊有任何問題、想法與建議，都歡迎來 open hour 與我們討論。
社群招募經驗分享：今年度將為新手 host 準備經驗教學分享會，為期半日的 workshop 中，將由議程組說明怎麼辦社群議程，並邀請有經驗的社群進行經(踩)驗(坑)分享。

同樣的，維持去年的幾項合作方案，我們今年將繼續執行

COSCUP 跨組例會直播：COSCUP 會將每一場跨組會議，利用 Google Meet 進行直播，歡迎有興趣的社群加入。
Prime Session 大人物推薦：COSCUP 2024 將持續邀請社群夥伴提名 prime session 大人物。今年執行的方向，將須先由各社群將該名重量級講者邀請到自己的軌，再推薦給議程組，作為 prime session speaker。詳情辦法將於社群議程說明會進一步公布。
Google Calendar 同步：COSCUP 2024 議程相關的重要日常，我們除了會在跨社群會議中同步外，也會設定 Google Calendar，在截止日前發布通知。

以上資訊望各位社群夥伴知悉，若有其他問題，歡迎參考參加社群夥伴說明會，或是參考往年的問答集影片。當然，也歡迎您與 program@coscup.org 聯繫！

What's New in COSCUP 2024

This year, COSCUP introduces new collaboration guidelines. Interested community partners are encouraged to review and agree to these guidelines upon registration.

COSCUP welcomes community partners to promote and share information about their activities at COSCUP, including planning independent registration systems, setting up promotional event websites, or using ticketing systems. However, it is essential to mention COSCUP as the collaborating partner. Following the spirit of COSCUP, activities associated with COSCUP should avoid restricting audience participation. If limitations are necessary for specific reasons, please contact the program committee for discussion.

Partners applying to join COSCUP are required to agree with the Conference Code of Conduct (CoC). Please help promote and abide by the CoC to create a respectful and friendly event environment.

For more community collaboration guidelines, please refer to this document. All of the registered COSCUP community members are jointly liable for meeting COSCUP guidelines and requirements stated within the document.

Application Rules

In the past, COSCUP speaking slots were in high demand, so deliberately leaving gaps in the schedule is discouraged. Applying for a slot signifies the commitment to fill the allocated time. Each community track is allocated approximately 6 hours, with specific time slots adjusted based on application conditions. Communities have the flexibility to decide the duration of each session, whether there are break times, etc.

Coordinators of community tracks need to finalize the schedule by Jun 9.

If there are concerns about filling the entire day's schedule, consider collaborating with other communities or specify the desire for COSCUP's assistance in pairing. While efforts will be made, there is no guarantee.

Topic Submissions

After application approval, provide the required information for CFP by March 24. (Ex .In pretalx you wish to add any column )COSCUP will consolidate and release the CFP and forms. All submissions, even those invited directly, must use COSCUP's form.

COSCUP aims to record as many sessions as possible. Videos will be released under a Creative Commons Attribution license, and communities are responsible for editing. Detailed instructions can be found in the video editing guide. If a specific speaker requests no recording or live streaming, inclusion in the track must be carefully considered and approved by the COSCUP program committee.

Coordinators and Essential Staff

Please provide the names and contact information of two community members as coordinators during the application. Once approved, they will be the main point person during the event. At least one coordinator must be present in the room during community track sessions to handle administrative matters.

COSCUP's photography team does not guarantee photos for every speaker. If needed, communities must assign members to assist with photography. Applying communities must ensure that recording equipment in the room is running and correctly recording videos. In line with the paperless initiative, COSCUP has used electronic schedules in recent years, and sponsor advertisements may play randomly as users access schedule information.

Community Collaboration

COSCUP aims to enhance communication and collaboration with diverse approaches for a better experience. Adjustments in collaboration for this year include:

Community Open Hour

We will host online meetings via google meet and will send out invitations to community hosts to invite questions. Feel free to join open hours to discuss the latest updates, planning, and information about COSCUP, or share your thoughts and suggestions.

Community Experience Sharing

We will invite previous community hosts to share their experiences and the program coordinators will explain how to organize community tracks.

Continuing from last year, the following collaboration initiatives will also be executed:

COSCUP Cross-Team Meetings Live Broadcast

COSCUP will live stream every cross-team meeting using Google Meet. Interested communities are welcome to join.

Prime Session Speaker Recommendations

COSCUP 2024 will continue to invite community partners to nominate prime session speakers. The process involves inviting the prominent speaker to the community track first and then recommending them to the program committee as a prime session speaker. Detailed instructions will be announced during the community intro meeting.

Google Calendar Sync

Important daily events related to COSCUP 2024 will be synchronized through a Google Calendar, with notifications released before the deadline.

For any other questions, attend the community intro meeting or refer to the Q&A videos from previous years. Feel free to contact program@coscup.org for further assistance.
