It’s been an exciting year, and it’s only just started.
Inspired by movements like Allowed to Apply and following all kinds of amazing people on Twitter, I’m going to submit an OSCON proposal this year.
I decided this about a day and a half ago, a bit close to the proposal submission deadline. I’ve had to move fast as a result.

There’s a lot of pieces left to fill in there still.
Today, I put together a short summary of talks that emphasized how language features helped people solve problems that were presented at OSCON 2013. I’m sharing this guide with you today in the hope that it helps you build a great submission to OSCON 2014.
