The call for speakers is open for lambda days in kraków, poland next year. Last year they were really interested in getting some gleam talk submissions and i’d guess that hasn’t changed!

https://sessionize.com/lambda-days-2024

some things to know:

they wont cover accom/travel for speakers by default. But theres wiggle room based on personal circumstances
conf is about all things fp, ive heard its always really fun

I’d really love to see some gleamlins submit!

Lambda Days 2024: Call for Speakers

Lambda Days has been a melting pot for research and practical application of functional programming. Every year, hundreds of developers from around Eu...

#

@uncut grove can i count on you? ^.^

uncut grove Nov 8, 2023, 1:23 PM

#

I’d love to but I have zero ideas and the Lambda Days crowd is really intimidating

frozen flicker Nov 8, 2023, 1:23 PM

#

I feel the same! More reason for us both to submit:)

arctic heath Nov 8, 2023, 1:25 PM

#

there's this one more serious track where people are supposed to submit scientific papers, but overall I think it's a pretty chill conference

uncut grove Nov 8, 2023, 1:26 PM

#

I can try come up with something then!

arctic heath Nov 8, 2023, 1:27 PM

How do you know @frozen flicker ? Did they reach out to you personally?

uncut grove Nov 8, 2023, 1:28 PM

#

Also @frozen flicker if you have any suggestion it would be super useful

frozen flicker Nov 8, 2023, 1:30 PM

#

arctic heath > Last year they were really interested in getting some gleam talk submissions ...

They reached out last year and invited me to submit a talk, and louis too iirc. I also just know one of the organisers

frozen flicker Nov 8, 2023, 1:40 PM

#

uncut grove Also <@222803261529260032> if you have any suggestion it would be super useful

Im mostly drawing blanks, if you feel confident showing off our typed beam stuff i think folks would find that super interesting

#

If you have things to say about lustre thatd be cool 👀

#

all the BEAM conferences got very expensive (early bird for code beam America was $800, now it's even more 👀 ), this one costs just peanuts in comparison

#

plus there's a discount code in the link I posted

arctic heath Feb 28, 2024, 5:47 PM

#

The list of speakers (or at least an initial version) is up, congrats @frozen flicker, see you there! https://www.lambdadays.org/lambdadays2024

frozen flicker Feb 28, 2024, 5:47 PM

#

are you gonna come?

arctic heath Feb 28, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

yes, it'll be my 4th lambda days or something like that

frozen flicker Feb 28, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

they invited me to speak, im very nervous 😅

arctic heath Feb 28, 2024, 5:50 PM

#

you'll do great I'm sure

uncut grove Feb 28, 2024, 5:50 PM

#

arctic heath yes, it'll be my 4th lambda days or something like that

Yooo can’t wait to meet again!!

vale shard Mar 14, 2024, 5:31 PM

#

I'm sure you will do amazing @frozen flicker looking forward to see more of your talks about lustre or FP in general.

#

Lets keep submitting Gleam talks to these! @uncut grove I would also not mind re-watching your "what if best practices" talk for one of these, tons of folks that otherwise would not be aware of your previous talk.

uncut grove Mar 14, 2024, 5:36 PM

#

Oh yeah! I want to do that talk more, it was a lot of fun

#

Though I thought it wouldn't be that good for the kind of audience you see at lambda days

#

Talking about Java, exceptions as values and pattern matching etc. wouldn't be too interesting for people who are already into FP

vale shard Mar 14, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

I don't know the "vibe" around lambda days but usually the Code Sync conferences although very specialized sometimes like to have "lighter" talks around.

#

For me personally talks like yours can help me wind down a bit from more dense ones. Also they get my brain going with new ideas.

uncut grove Mar 14, 2024, 5:42 PM

#

Oh yeah I’d love to do that talk more! I’ll keep an eye out for conferences around Europe

#

Or if you know of any that I could submit to

#

I’m also working on a new talk on snapshot testing, it’s @karmic robin’s fault!

karmic robin Mar 14, 2024, 5:45 PM

#

yesssss

vale shard Mar 14, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

The next code beam europe might be a good fit, but I will try to update if anything comes along 👀

frozen flicker Mar 14, 2024, 6:07 PM

#

I so hope i can speak at code beam europe again

vale shard Mar 16, 2024, 12:37 AM

#

lets make it work so you can get to code beam again

supple girder May 10, 2024, 9:56 AM

frozen flicker May 10, 2024, 9:56 AM

supple girder May 10, 2024, 9:57 AM

#

frozen flicker May 10, 2024, 9:57 AM

#

supple girder May 10, 2024, 9:58 AM

#

uncut grove May 10, 2024, 10:01 AM

#

Oh I just realised the schedule is out

#

Now comes the hardest part of deciding which talks to attend

#

I heard this Lustre thing is really cool, maybe I'll go listen to that one

supple girder May 10, 2024, 10:05 AM

#

Indeed, looks like the talk all the cool kids will attend lucy Good luck @frozen flicker

frozen flicker May 10, 2024, 10:05 AM

#

uncut grove I heard this Lustre thing is really cool, maybe I'll go listen to that one

candid void May 24, 2024, 3:35 PM

#

lambda days is looking like a good lineup

frozen flicker May 24, 2024, 3:37 PM

#

candid void May 24, 2024, 3:39 PM

#

I was looking at trains from San sebastian, but I don't think that's close enough

frozen flicker May 24, 2024, 3:41 PM

#

awh 😔

arctic heath May 24, 2024, 7:58 PM

#

I'm going to a functional programming conference, and plan to spend my travel and some other free time writing low level imperative C code 😆

karmic robin May 24, 2024, 8:00 PM

#

this is the way

arctic heath May 24, 2024, 8:01 PM

#

the weather should be nice

uncut grove May 24, 2024, 8:01 PM

#

It better be

#

My outfit won’t work unless it’s sunny 💀

arctic heath May 24, 2024, 8:06 PM

#

I don't have plans yet but I might be tired after travel, but let's write here if someone wants to go out on Sunday

#

in any case we'll see everyone on the "afterparty" on Monday

#

it's more like "middle of the party"

frozen flicker May 24, 2024, 8:08 PM

#

i arrive around noon on sunday

#

but i am definitely going to be

tired
paniced

arctic heath May 24, 2024, 8:10 PM

#

♥️ it'll be grand, you have a good base presentation from Berlin to modify

uncut grove May 24, 2024, 8:10 PM

#

Our piano teacher made us drink before a concert

#

Maybe we should get you drunk before the talk 🤔

frozen flicker May 24, 2024, 8:10 PM

#

arctic heath ♥️ it'll be grand, you have a good base presentation from Berlin to modify

good news

#

its unrelated to that one 😎

arctic heath May 24, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

I meann it's still about lustre

arctic heath May 24, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

uncut grove Our piano teacher made us drink before a concert

classic one shot "for the courage" 😆

supple girder May 25, 2024, 7:33 AM

#

I’m arriving on Sunday afternoon. I’m always up for some drinks!

uncut grove May 27, 2024, 6:22 AM

#

Any gleamlin already at the venue? I need someone to same me from small talking to complete strangers 💀

frozen flicker May 27, 2024, 6:28 AM

#

😭

#

#

you shoulda come to my hotel to make slides

uncut grove May 27, 2024, 6:52 AM

#

Oh nevermind I found a lovely group of clojurists

#

My time with gleam has come to an end

karmic robin May 27, 2024, 8:12 AM

#

RIP the formatter

arctic heath May 27, 2024, 11:21 PM

#

The "afterparty" place had no air at all, we tried to go in there but immediately noped out 🫤

karmic robin May 27, 2024, 11:22 PM

#

Oh that sucks

#

Bad ventilation is such a pet peeve of mine

frozen flicker May 28, 2024, 5:02 AM

#

It was awfully hot

uncut grove May 28, 2024, 5:26 AM

#

Yeah that was terrible

frozen flicker May 28, 2024, 5:26 AM

#

Im so tired 🥱

#

And none of my outfits are appropriate for how fucking hot it is

uncut grove May 28, 2024, 5:42 AM

#

Wear the lambda days t-shirt

#

I dare you

frozen flicker May 28, 2024, 5:43 AM

#

i could neverrr 😭

uncut grove May 28, 2024, 5:46 AM

#

I’m lazy and will just reuse the same outfit from yesterday

frozen flicker May 28, 2024, 5:47 AM

#

gonna lose your reputation

supple girder May 28, 2024, 7:23 AM

#

Any talks to recommend for the 11:20, 12:10 and 14:25 sessions? It is mostly topics I’m not familiar with, but I’m up for anything.

frozen flicker May 28, 2024, 7:29 AM

#

@tall totem is giving that property-based testing talk so i'll go and check that out at 11;20

#

and i will probably go to the media streaming one at 12;10 because its elixir

#

torn between the panel and the eDSL talk for 14;25

#

also possible i just dont go to any of them and chill instead 😂

supple girder May 28, 2024, 7:32 AM

#

Thanks!

tall totem May 28, 2024, 7:51 AM

#

Cellular automata, Two cultures of AI (Philip Wadler is a must IMHO), eDSL, and in the last non-keynote block I'm torn between all three

karmic robin May 28, 2024, 9:58 AM

#

cut the arms off the top and turn it into a tank top

#

that's what I used to do with conf tshirts

supple girder May 28, 2024, 4:20 PM

#

Great conf, I enjoyed a lot both Gleam talks from Hayleigh and Jak, thanks for those!
See you all in Berlin in October 🇩🇪 and have a safe trip home!

uncut grove May 28, 2024, 4:23 PM

#

It was great meeting you! See you in Berlin 💕

frozen flicker May 28, 2024, 10:03 PM

#

okay i submitted at exactly midnight

#

so hopefully they get it

uncut grove May 29, 2024, 1:52 AM

#

Im awake, but at what cost 💀

frozen flicker Jul 3, 2024, 7:43 AM

#

After every talk audience members are asked to rate on an ipad green/yellow/red as they leave

#

mine was

Green: 96%
Yellow: 4%
Red: 0%

#

the non-keynote average was

Green: 91%
Yellow: 8%
Red: 1%

#

heck yeah!!

uncut grove Jul 3, 2024, 7:44 AM

#

Wooo so good

karmic robin Jul 3, 2024, 8:19 AM

#

Bravo!

#

Those review scores always make me so nervous

frozen flicker Jul 3, 2024, 8:20 AM

#

How come?

karmic robin Jul 3, 2024, 8:23 AM

#

What if they I’m bad

frozen flicker Jul 3, 2024, 8:30 AM

#

i think basically everyone always rates green out of politeness 😂

uncut grove Jul 3, 2024, 8:31 AM

#

Yeah usually If I'm voting yellow that means I really hated it otherwise it's always green 💀

frozen flicker Jul 3, 2024, 8:32 AM

#

jak gets it

karmic robin Jul 3, 2024, 8:38 AM

#

Codemesh once had an awful keynote where i think the guy presenting had had a paranoid mental breakdown

#

I scored him red

vale shard Jul 3, 2024, 9:22 PM

#

No 🫂 hug in scoring system 😦

#

Having the scores be shared is really nice, specially if talk went well.

But I really wish there was a good way of getting constructive feedback on how to improve.

#

But probably is something that you would get out of friends, community or professionals $.

supple girder Jul 4, 2024, 10:38 PM

#

I just don’t give a rating when I don’t like the talk
