Am 02. Nov, 2018 schwätzte Mx Siltanen so:

moin moin,

Is there room for invited talks? Or perhaps a local events track?

I think we have a good variety of tracks. We also get great presentations
and I'm glad to see newish speakers get the opportunity. So, from a
topics perspective, I don't see a need to wait and hope for more
participation. I also mostly don't see what proposals we get, so it might
just be lack of knowledge on my part :).

Even though I'm not local, I do see the advantage of working with local
groups and events. That's one of the reasons I love that a couple of the
local user groups meet at SCaLE Thursday night rather than their normal
location.

Do we track people we've run into that we'd like to see submit a proposal
and send them invites?

I'm pretty certain Matti does some of that. I am very certain I'm bad at
that :(.

Still, the last couple years I have done so and know that got us some
proposals. At least two have been accepted :).

Thanks to those who are about to slog through all the proposals! We
appreciate your work. We also benefit from it :).

ciao,

der.hans
