Hi Peter
thanks a lot for your extensive reply (01)
What about adding a chapter/paragraph to the wiki with process guidelines about
'how to organize a talk', or 'how to be invited to give a talk'
so that people can put forward their ideas and suggestions for future sessions? (02)
A suggestion could be that anyone organizing a talk, would make an
open invitationt
to others who may want to present around the same topic, as to create
'topic clusters'
and get different perspectives on the same topic ( eating our own framework)
This could be mentioned in the guidelines (03)
Great that vendors are not encouraged, but somehow 'selling' manages to slip in (04)
great work!
cheers (05)
