The Opencast community is an international collaboration of individuals, higher education institutions and organizations working together to discuss, develop, define and document best practices for the management of audiovisual content in academia. The conference is dedicated to the use and management of academic video in general and Opencast in particular. While the focus of the event will be on Opencast, the community seeks participation from related domains and projects.

Therefore educational designers, researchers, service providers and others working with video in academic settings are invited to share expertise and experience across the field and explore opportunities to collaborate in related projects.
The conference committee is looking for proposals in the following tracks:

1. Academic video
   - Teaching and learning with video, pedagogy of video, learning analytics
   - Research
   - Technology
   - Video strategies and policies
2. Opencast adopters
   - Experience in using Opencast for lecture capture/video management
   - Ideas for new features in Opencast
   - Solutions to further develop Opencast
   - Integration scenarios
3. Opencast developers
   - Presentations and meetings with a focus on technical details, likely to see developers, system administrators, A/V-technicians and those interested in issues related to these domains.

There are different types of proposals for these tracks:

1. Lightning talk: 10 minutes including 5 minutes Q&A
2. Presentation: 30 minutes including 5-10 minutes Q&A
3. Birds of a feather (BoF): 1-2 hours. Suggest a topic you would like to discuss with others.
4. Workshop: 2 hours – half-day. Bring forward a topic you would like to introduce others to or discuss with others.

Alternatively, feel free to suggest a BoF or a workshop for a topic you would like to know more about. Ideally, you can designate/suggest someone to host, but feel free to make this a task for the programme committee.
