Hi,
@Matthew thanks for letting me know. I think the topics I choose to cover might fit well combined with yours. I have chosen to focus on Apache Pekko from a contributor/adopter point of view (my talk wouldn't explore the process for the Apache Incubator and the Akka background). Few questions for @Justin or @Claude as they are heavily involved in the committee: - How amendable the talk can be after the submission (i.e.: changing the number of speakers)? - Is the length of the talk fixed at 40 minutes? - Do you have any preference regarding multiple Apache Pekko talks in the incubator track vs fewer talks covering mixed topics?
