Hi Nara and Zeren,

The official CFP text is available on our HotStorage website (https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.hotstorage.org%2f2026%2fcfp.html&c=E,1,DiQEv48UJhE88rcxhrE8C_0v7nfY5XMARG3n_sf7TkQGNkm3rBjJ_EGuA65E0kw8STwZyQgM2rm84Uz5HM_O4cMsUAYQ-t2amLJ5MG_qCHJo&typo=1<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.hotstorage.org_2026_cfp.html&d=DwMGaQ&c=BSDicqBQBDjDI9RkVyTcHQ&r=l70SQ2jftUUpaPTkSxBOXQQS5TXYLeUXmHbERacFOzI&m=w4JaGYTzZfVsNKxcJ-5LfBzvalZi84PO_oydqDuper2yxXfI7EOKa0pZjKyd30CF&s=s-ZxCy-7NH8ExUiK1hu8JHoPTQRJSKOQBcC20e9-foE&e=>). If you prefer, it might be worthwhile to create a PDF flyer to facilitate distribution, and ask the Webchair to put it on website, similar to the HPDC flyer on their webpage https://hpdc.sci.utah.edu/2023/papers/call-for-papers/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__hpdc.sci.utah.edu_2023_papers_call-2Dfor-2Dpapers_&d=DwMGaQ&c=BSDicqBQBDjDI9RkVyTcHQ&r=l70SQ2jftUUpaPTkSxBOXQQS5TXYLeUXmHbERacFOzI&m=w4JaGYTzZfVsNKxcJ-5LfBzvalZi84PO_oydqDuper2yxXfI7EOKa0pZjKyd30CF&s=BxnAgWzfixjutU20vr17wqodY2-AYHDasLwYVSagoTk&e=>.

In general, let’s try to distribute the CFP as broad as possible. I believe there are some HotStorage-specific accounts, and it might be a good idea to contact the publicity chairs last year to learn from their experiences:

  *   Zhichao Cao, Arizona State University
  *   Huaicheng Li, Virginia Tech

I have created an empty folder “publicity” in the shared google drive (https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1EKAnCVxd9oBW1GD9_7iSVihXxdc3ha-K<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__drive.google.com_drive_u_1_folders_1EKAnCVxd9oBW1GD9-5F7iSVihXxdc3ha-2DK&d=DwMGaQ&c=BSDicqBQBDjDI9RkVyTcHQ&r=l70SQ2jftUUpaPTkSxBOXQQS5TXYLeUXmHbERacFOzI&m=w4JaGYTzZfVsNKxcJ-5LfBzvalZi84PO_oydqDuper2yxXfI7EOKa0pZjKyd30CF&s=2suGOrUJ2Jlba1k57yQ4Rfq9reyUXI34M8SF2KakPis&e=>). Please feel free to use it to curate/document the publicity efforts (e.g., flyer, different channels, advertisement times) this year (e.g., maybe in a google sheet similar to the sponsorship sheet). Also, there is a “hotstorage2025” folder which contains resources from previous chairs. Please feel free to check it out to see if there is any resource for publicity.

Thanks again, and we could chat more in email/Slack if there are any other questions!

Thanks,
Mai

Hi Travis and Mai,
Thanks for the update! I’m happy to help distribute the HotStorage’26 information across relevant channels.
I share Nara’s question. Also, what would be the preferred approach for outreach? Should we distribute using our own accounts and networks, or is there an official HotStorage account or coordinated channel we should use?
Thanks again, and looking forward to helping with the publicity efforts!

Thanks,
Zeren

You don't often get email from hotstorage-publicitychairs at fsl.cs.sunysb.edu. Learn why this is important<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__aka.ms_LearnAboutSenderIdentification&d=DwMGaQ&c=BSDicqBQBDjDI9RkVyTcHQ&r=l70SQ2jftUUpaPTkSxBOXQQS5TXYLeUXmHbERacFOzI&m=w4JaGYTzZfVsNKxcJ-5LfBzvalZi84PO_oydqDuper2yxXfI7EOKa0pZjKyd30CF&s=DFwrBeYG1FNx2mtBwRVdvWoOWaaw3xrWvqU4QPQVt9U&e=>

Hi Travis and Mai,

Thank you for the update. I’d be happy to help distribute the HotStorage’26 information through relevant channels.

Could you please let me know where I can find the official CFP text or publicity materials that you would like us to share? For example, is there an official call-for-papers announcement, website link, or short version for social media/mailing lists?

Thanks,
Nara

Hi Nara and Zeren,

Thank you for serving as the publicity co-chairs for HotStorage’26!  The website and CFP are mostly stable now. Could you please help distribute the information through relevant channels (e.g., social media, USENIX Slack, mailing lists, ...) if you haven't already? We may need multiple rounds of outreach to reach a broad audience. Thank you again for your help, and please let us know if you have any questions!

Thanks,
-Travis Janssen and Mai Zheng
 HotStorage'26 General Chairs
