Most definitely, submit a talk. I wouldn't worry about having "credentials," interesting talks from people who are not regular speakers are always welcome.

I encourage everyone to submit a proposal.

A major part of that outcome was the low number of total proposals. The core contributors and others kind of chipped in to save the day. We want tons of proposals.

Also, it's low cost to submit, so there's no reason not to do so. Even if it's turned down, you don't have much to lose. You'd obviously have more information about the proposals than I do, but there must not have been many given how few presentations came from outside the inner circle this year.

Even if a proposal gets turned down, one can always submit it at another programmers' conference, or even a meetup. They're always looking for material.

(I gave a talk at a meetup just last month.)

Note that my schedule over the next year will probably preclude me from having the time to prepare a talk. So there'll likely be one slot that I usually take waiting to be filled by someone with great new ideas.

This is something I'd personally prefer in general to be honest. It's a far better display of an active community if it's not just the same people presenting every year.

Alright.

Thanks Mr. Bright. And thanks to all of you for encouraging me.

Except that we like your talks, Ethan :-)

Well, I'll be trying to arrange my schedule so I can raise my hand for emcee duties again at least. So I won't be _completely_ invisible.

If I was submitting, given the success of my "ground up tutorial" approach this year I'd also straight up ask in the general forums if there's any topics I should cover. So if I don't do a talk, at least someone else will have a solid idea for one ;-)

Do you already know in which country it will happen?
