Volunteer as a CFP reviewer for FOSS United events. Apply to help us select proposals that align with our mission and values.
If you are interested in being a reviewer, please keep the following in mind
Proposals from multiple cities will be directed towards the review volunteers for review
Volunteer teams usually share the proposals for review a week before the event. This means the talks are to be reviewed in a span of 2-3 days. We are actively trying to increase the review period by closing CFPs for events early.
There are usually 3-8 proposals that need to be reviewed.
Two or more cities might host meetups on the same weekend so it is possible that > 10 proposals need to be reviewed within a few days
Subjective review comments are preferred over a simple accept/reject
Overall, expect to spend ~ 5-10 hours a month
Overall, there could be 5-10 reviewers but usually, 3-4 are needed to review proposals for one meetup and establish a clear majority of votes for a proposal.
