Hi all, exactly like I predicted (I should have written it publicly), submissions of talks for the conference have started to accelerate very close to the deadline, which was today. I got some private comments saying that some people were as busy as we were over the last week, so I was informed that the deadline for submissions was postponed by one week, to end on Friday 28th.
However please don't see this as an indication that if it slips once, it may slip again. If you had an idea to submit, please do it right now without waiting. If you want to keep the process simple, just send an e-mail to submiss...@haproxy.com with a subject "talk proposal" and with a few lines such as : I deployed haproxy in this unusual configuration that I thought it would be worth sharing with the community, I think I can make a 40 (or 10) minutes talk out of it. It's about X/Y/Z ... If you're unsure about the interest, just propose anyway, as often what you're used to do seems obvious to you but not to others. If you feel really shy about your proposal and prefer to ask me before sending it, just ping me in private and I'll give you some feedback. Now that can also be about how you managed to optimize something around haproxy (e.g. how to manage thousands of backends from the CLI, how to update maps on the fly, how to reduce latency between DCs, etc). All the details are still here : https://www.haproxyconf.com/call-for-papers/ Cheers, Willy
