# ORCA Tech Talk — Speaker Invitation Template

**Subject:** Invitation to present at an ORCA Tech Talk — [topic / paper title]

Hi [Name],

I'm reaching out on behalf of ORCA, **the Open Robust Compartmentalization Alliance** — a Linux Foundation group focused on advancing isolation technologies in all their forms (OS-level isolation, secure containers, confidential VMs, and beyond) as well as metrics and benchmarks evaluating various compartmentalization techniques. I'd like to invite you to present at an upcoming **ORCA Tech Talk**.


I recently came across your work on [specific paper / project / talk] and really enjoyed [one sentence on what stood out]. Your research on [OS security / secure containers / CVMs / specific area] aligns closely with what our community is actively exploring, and it is exactly the kind of research our community would benefit from hearing about directly.


Our Tech Talks bring together a small but engaged group — typically around a dozen attendees including professors, grad students, industry practitioners, and adopters working on production isolation systems. You can expect detailed, substantive questions from people who genuinely care about understanding your work and thinking about how it applies to their own systems and deployments.

## Format and logistics

* When: Second Thursday of each month, 12:00–1:00 PM ET
* Where: Zoom
* Length: Total 1 hour including ~30–40 minutes of presentation, followed by Q&A and discussion
* Next available slots: [date], [date], [date]

Would any of the upcoming dates work for you? Happy to answer any questions about the format, audience, or what other speakers have covered recently — just let me know.

Thanks for considering it, and looking forward to hearing from you.

Best,
