https://posit.co/blog/speak-at-posit-conf-2024/

We are looking for talks about:

• How you’ve used R or Python to solve a challenging problem.
• Projects and teams where R and Python live together in harmony.
• Your favorite R or Python package and how it makes life easier or unlocks new capabilities.
• Your techniques for teaching data science to help reach new domains and new audiences.
• Your broad reflections on data science, packages, code, and/or community.
• Anything else you think the Posit community would love to hear about!

Talks are 20 minutes long and can be in-person or remote. Since we know we won’t be able to accept all the wonderful talks that you submit, we’ll also include a couple of sessions of lightning talks. These 5-minute talks are drawn from the main pool of talk proposals, i.e., there is no separate application process.

I think a general 20 minute talk on Ibis would be great. Things to emphasize in the application:

• inspiration taken from R/dplyr
• use of Quarto for the website
• ideal of a standard Python dataframe interface for many backends

CFP Deadline: Midnight on February 9 anywhere on Earth

I submitted this abstract:

Ibis is a cross-backend DataFrame API for Python, heavily inspired by many things including R, SQL, pandas and others. The cross backend nature of Ibis presents a bit of testing pickle: how on earth can we reliably test 20 analytic query engines while maintaining our sanity? Can we do this on every commit? In this talk I'll delve into the guts of how we test Ibis across 20 backends on every commit and pull request and techniques for dealing with CI versus local environments.
