Open CFPs

A board of open calls for papers in: open source, cloud native, databases, Linux and systems, AI infrastructure, agents and MCP, SRE and observability, developer tooling.

Automations run by my bestie, Claude Code <3

Live at https://cfps.manvikatuteja.com.

How it works

• data/cfps.json is the only source of truth. Every deadline in it was checked on the organiser's own CFP page, not an aggregator.
• index.html renders that file with filters by topic, country and days left.
• api/cal.js serves the same data as a calendar feed at /cal.ics. Add ?pick=id1,id2 for chosen CFPs, ?topic=ai,ag for a topic, ?country=France for a country. Calendar apps re-fetch the feed on their own, so deadlines stay current.
• scripts/validate.py refuses data with closed deadlines, deadlines after the event start, duplicate ids or unknown topics.
• scripts/monday_post.py drafts the Monday LinkedIn post into posts/.

The data is refreshed every Monday at 7am Pacific. A push to main deploys.
