Overview
Cloud Native Logging Day aims to bring developers and users from the Fluent community to discuss, exchange, and share experiences using Fluentd and Fluent Bit. Whether you are a pro operating at petabyte scale or looking to bring more visibility into your Cloud Native environment, we invite you to join the discussion.
The intent of this day is to provide a vendor neutral space for collaboration and sharing of Fluentd. Proposals including proprietary solutions or commercial product offerings that do not discuss how they contributed back to the projects will not be accepted.

Expectations and Takeaways
FluentCon: Cloud Native Logging day with Fluent Bit and Fluentd will follow a virtual format is a combination of curated talks and self organized conversations. In addition to keynotes and talks, we will also feature timed slack threads to serve as our “hallway tracks”. We believe this format will allow for great collaborations and engagement from the Fluent Bit and Fluentd communities to take on challenges and present solutions with one another in a comfortable setting. This will allow attendees to network, explore, learn, and educate all in a single day.
We are hopeful that, in addition to some great exchanges, that we’ll be able to share and capture topics, discussions, and key points.
Preparing to Submit
Preparing to Submit Your Proposal
While it is not our intention to provide you with strict instructions on how to prepare your proposal, we hope you will take a moment to review the following guidelines that we have put together to help you prepare the best submission possible. To get started, here are three things that you should consider before submitting your proposal:
- What are you hoping to get from your presentation?
- What do you expect the audience to gain from your presentation?
- How will your presentation help better the ecosystem?
There are plenty of ways to give a presentation about projects and technologies without focusing on company-specific efforts. Remember the things to consider that we mentioned above when writing your proposal and think of ways to make it interesting for attendees while still letting you share your experiences, educate the community about an issue, or generate interest in a project.
First Time Submitting? Don’t Feel Intimidated
Linux Foundation events are an excellent way to get to know the community and share your ideas and the work that you are doing and we strongly encourage first-time speakers to submit talks for our events. In the instance that you aren’t sure about your abstract, reach out to us and we will be more than happy to work with you on your proposal.
How To Give a Great Tech Talk
In the instance that your talk is accepted, we want to make sure that you give the best presentation possible. To do this, we enlisted the help of seasoned conference speaker Josh Berkus who has prepared an in-depth tutorial on “How to Give a Great Tech Talk”.
Code of Conduct
The Linux Foundation is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for participants at all of our events. We encourage all submitters to review our complete Code of Conduct.
