So I was planning to submit an abstract tomorrow for a talk on the Incubator track, it's about the journey/process of Pekko in Incubator. In my case the talk would be planned to be around 40 minutes as its meant to dive into various broad overarching topics, i.e.
- The context/history of Akka and how it got to the license change event and what lessons can we learn about OS in general - Differences of governance of Scala + Akka OS projects and Apache projects (i.e. the "Apache way") - Process in the Apache incubator which we found eye opening and what learnings that both Pekko and Apache can take from this - The legal/license issues we had to deal with along with the ramifications of it @Samuele There seems to be some overlap here (i.e. Apache vs Scala OS/Akka governance) but you also seem to be covering some topics that are quite orthogonal, i.e. approaching Apache from an Enterprise world and what measures has Microsoft put in place to try and do better next time round. I was going to initially suggest that we try and focus on these separate topics but if as you state you don't have that much content to cover the ~40 minutes needed I am definitely open to collaborating (it shouldn't be too hard to split the talk up into separate parts where we can discuss these different topics separately). I personally don't have an issue with this (collaborating on the talk) albeit we are starting to hit a little bit of a deadline when it comes to submitting the abstract for CFP (still have 10 days), although one thing to note is that you can modify the abstract after initial submission (we can also ask the organizers about how ammendable the talk can be wrt changing the number of speakers, also mentioning that you just got approval right now from Microsoft). I would say that if we end up collaborating we also should plan on how to organize this (i.e. initially sharing slides and then doing some demo presentations). And yet another thing to consider is whether bombarbing the incubator track with too many Pekko talks would hamper the chances of any of the Pekko talks getting accepted or whether it's a good thing (i.e. more attention for Pekko) assuming the talks are segregated enough on what is covered. There is also a final point regarding what's happening with Pekko is currently evolving, i.e. difference if we manage to get a release through (all fingers crossed!) versus not and the talk is landing at the same approximate deadline of our Pekko release.
