   Thinking about #BSDCan abstracts and falling into analysis paralysis, I've no idea what an abstract *looks* like for this con. How many words? Do you want the talk outline? The topic and that's it?

   I dunno - AP is setting in - I want to give a good idea without accidentally writing the entire talk?

     @silverwizard A good abstract is like good slides, they give the direction of the talk but not the details.

     You aren’t trying to get clicks so you should state bluntly the context of the talk and its conclusion, this lets people gage if they are interested in the “in-between” part.
