Additional proposed talks
The following talks were proposed, but the proposer was unable to be present.
- "Removable Activities" (Mikus Grinbergs) (related to datastore work and activity management)
- "Sugar Performance" (Tomeu Vizoso)
- (Better integration with legacy) "Desktop Applications" (Marco Gritti)
- "Performance, Performance, Performance" (Mitch Bradley)
Presenter guidelines
For the 1-hour long talk categories, the goal was ~25 minutes of "presentation" and ~25 minutes of "discussion" (interleaved if you like), with a 5 minute leg-stretch break between talks. For the lightning talks, we aimed at ~10 minutes of presentation, the same ~25 minutes of discussion, and 5 minutes of R&R.
