Hi @sathishk and @pkamath2 we have you down on the schedule already. Thank you for your submissions!

@wlwl2 We would like to hear your talk too. But we might need to keep things short to fit everyone in. Could we perhaps keep case-utils and Brave down to brief summaries? I am most interested to hear your Atom tips. But anyway it's your choice what you want to focus on.

@chr15m We would be really interested to hear your talk on Bugout this evening. Are you still available? Hope to see you later!

In order to accommodate all four presenters, we will try to keep talks to 15 minutes with 5 minutes Q+A. (For @sathishk maybe a shorter talk and a longer Q+A.)

chr15m commented 4 years ago

@joeytwiddle yes I'll be there, thank you very much. See you then! :pray:

wlwl2 commented 4 years ago

@joeytwiddle May I just postpone my talk (maybe) for another talk.js?

joeysino commented 4 years ago

@wlwl2 If you like, then yes you can postpone. I will just have to wait to learn about Atom!

You can still plug your new NPM package in the open mic session. :-)
