Hi All, PMC approval still pending for Summit in SF (so things may change), but wanted to get a preliminary CfP out there to start to get sense of interest -- giving the targeted dates are approaching. Much of this delay/uncertainty my fault and I should have done more before the holidays and my long vacation in from end of December through mid-January. This CfP will remain open for some time, and upon/after approval will make sure to give notice for a CfP deadline.
Please submit talks via: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfD0qhoS2QrDbtK1E85gATGQCgRGKhQcLIkiiAsPW9G_7Um_Q/viewform?usp=sf_link Would very much encourage anyone that can lead hands-on/tutorials/workshops for full day, half-day, focused couple hours, etc to apply, as well as any technical talks and/or use cases. Again, tentative dates(s) 3 and 4 April 2019.
