October meetup

October is here and the call for talks is open. We want a night full of voices from the community, and for that we need yours: propose your talk and come tell us what you have been buried in.

It does not have to be a big topic or months of research. An editor trick, a library that turned out not to be worth it, a post-mortem, an architecture you want to walk through properly, a half-baked idea you want to argue out loud. If it is technical and you care about it, we want to hear it.

And you pick how long it needs: a lightning talk of 3 to 5 minutes if you want to get straight to the point, or a full talk of 25 minutes if the idea deserves more room. Both fit that night.

If you have never presented before, this is a good month to start: we will help you shape the talk and rehearse it beforehand.

The date is confirmed. We are still deciding whether we meet in a room or online, and we will announce it here as soon as we know.

See you there!

Call for speakers

We are taking proposals until Friday 16 October, as a lightning talk or in the full format. Pick whichever length serves your idea and send it in.

Line-up in progress

We have not announced this meetup's talks yet. If you want to present, the call for speakers is the way in.

Propose a talk for this meetup

We are taking proposals for this meetup. Tell us what you want to present and we will reply within 7 business days.

Formats we are taking this month

  • Lightning (3–5 min)
  • Regular talk (25 min)

About your slides

It depends on the format you pick. If you bring a lightning talk, keep the slides few: just enough to land your idea in five minutes. If you bring a full talk, you have room to develop it properly — just make sure every slide earns its place.

A lightning talk leaves no room for a live demo: bring screenshots and talk through them. A full talk can fit one, but keep a recording or screenshots to hand in case the network lets you down.

The call closes on October 16, 2026

They do not have to be finished: a draft, an outline, or even the link to where they will be published all count. They help us assess the proposal and suggest improvements while there is still time to make them. Reusing a previous deck? Paste that link.

Optional. Paste a link to a photo of you, or write “use my LinkedIn photo” and we will take it from the profile you shared above. We use it on the flyer and on your speaker page.
