The idea is to have on stage a group of 6 to 10 speakers presenting their successful Cocoon projects. No more than 5-6 slides each, following a common template (I'll set up a Wiki page soonish), no more than 5-8 minutes each, pure "lighting talk" style.
Now, since I anticipate some of your concerns, here is some specific information:
1. while we would of course just love to hear company names, you don't have to provide them if you have privacy issues. Stating something along the lines of "company working in the XXX field, with n employees and y turnover" would be more than enough. But if you are able to convince your boss/customer to come out from the shadows, please do!
2. you don't have to come to Gent if you can't (but of course you're most welcome). I'm willing to be your proxy if you're far away or just have no time: all you'll have to do is work through a very short interview I'll send you, maybe answer a 10 minutes phone call if that's needed, and I'll take care of the rest. I'm willing to take care of the rest *even* if you do come on stage, so lack of time is not a valid excuse. And of course, keep in mind that being on stage is much nicer. :-)
So, if you were successful with Cocoon, it's time for you to give something back to our community. It's stage time, come and speak up!
