Hey, @kdnolan thanks for the extra info; can you update the issue description on your first 'comment' at the very top? you should be able to hit the 3 dot menu on your original comment and hit edit. If you cant I might need to adjust the settings on the repository.

sorry for the nitpicking; we are just trying to keep things consistent to make it easier for attendees to review the issues!

@kdnolan it seems this submission failed to get accepted this year, I appreciate the submission. One of our big criteria for accepting talks is reputation and community involvement around a topic. We also sort and order issues by 👍 emojis as one way to help understand how many people are excited to see a various talk/panel/workshop. Please consider submitting another idea next year. We'll be accepting talks for TABConf 6 in about 5-6 months.
