Hi Winston,

Please stick to the described format. You should link to additional resources, but your proposal should be standalone such that the reviewers of your proposal can evaluate it based only on the proposal.

For general guidance on writing talk proposals here's a list of resources I found.

Hi all!

    I have done some work on ROS and Gazebo and in order to give back to the community, I am glad to write a proposal to the coming ROScon. But sorry that it is my first time to write a session proposal so I want to ask for any guideline, format requirements or template of the proposal. In the official website of ROScon, it states that:

A session proposal should include:
    Title
    Recommended duration: Short (~20 minutes) or Long (~45 minutes)
    Summary, 100 word max (to be used in advertising the session)
    Description (for review purposes): outline, goals (what will the audience learn?), pointers to packages to be discussed (500 Words Maximum)

I just wonder, besides those items stated above, whether I should add extra content to the proposal or not. I will appreciate any suggestion.

Winston Yao
