Have you heard? We currently have an open call for papers for seven different TestBashes! And in honour of this massive opportunity for community members to speak at one (or more) of our TestBash events, we’re running a six-week event that we’re calling The Big Call For Papers.
What is The Big Call For Papers?
We want to help give everyone the best chance possible to speak at our upcoming TestBashes. So for the next three weeks, we’re running content and events to help you overcome challenges such as:
-
Find the thing that you want to passionately share at a TestBash
-
Capturing the finer details of what you want to share
-
Improving abstracts to help increase your chances of getting accepted
We’ll be guiding you with tips, tricks and opportunities to support one another throughout The Big Call For Papers with articles, videos, social questions and events that you can attend to help you submit your best proposal.
Finally, The Big Call For Papers will end with the biggest community review of abstracts we’ve ever seen for our continuous call for papers. To help us pick the submissions that the community wants to hear about for each TestBash.
🤫 We’ll also be running a competition for the community member who reviews the most abstracts!
How can you get involved?
We’ll be sharing lots of details on content and events over the coming weeks. But to keep up to date with the latest (and not miss the deadline), you can:
- Head over to the call-for-papers topic page and register for emails on creating and submitting your abstract
- Sign up to the #call-for-papers Slack channel to discuss
- Start reviewing submissions and have your say on who speaks at our TestBashes https://www.ministryoftesting.com/testbash/review
- Keep checking our events page regularly to see how we’re supporting The Big Call For Papers
We look forward to hearing more about what you want to share!
