### Abstract

This is your chance to *sell* your talk to the program committee, so do your best to highlight the problem/contribution/work that you are addressing in your presentation. The technical details are still important, but the relevance of what you are presenting will help the program committee during the selection process.

This is the abstract that will be posted on the website schedule, so please ensure that it is in complete sentences (and not just bullet points) and that it is written in the third person (use your name instead of I).
This is the abstract that will be posted on the website schedule, so please ensure that it is in complete sentences (and not just bullet points) and that it is written in the third person (use your name instead of I). Your abstract is limited to 1500 characters (~200 words).

*Example: The proposed presentation will provide an overview and current status of the Linux Foundation's CHAOSS project. This will include a discussion of the CHAOSS project workgroups, with a particular focus on the technical advances that are being done with respect to understanding the growth, maturity, and decline of an open source project. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of future work of the CHAOSS project, as well as ways to become involved in the project. *

### Audience

Describe who the audience is and what you expect them to gain from your presentation.

*Example: The audience for this project includes organizational members who are interested in better understand the growth, maturity, and decline of the open source projects with which they are engaged. This could include corporate participants, community managers, and members from supporting foundations.*

### Benefits to the Ecosystem

Tell us how the content of your presentation will help better the ecosystem.

We realize that this can be a difficult question to answer, but as with the abstract, the relevance of your presentation is just as important as the content.

*Example: This presentation openly discusses the work that is being done in the Linux Foundation's CHAOSS project. Understanding the health and sustainability of an open source project is critical as an ever increasing number of organizations engage with open source projects for a variety of reasons. These engagements have become critical to the success of organizations and advancing our production of better metrics and software is beneficial to the entire open source ecosystem. *
