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!

#

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

uncut grove
#

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

frozen flicker
#

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

arctic heath
#

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
#

I can try come up with something then!

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

uncut grove
#

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

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
frozen flicker
#

are you gonna come?

arctic heath
#

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

frozen flicker
#

they invited me to speak, im very nervous 😅

arctic heath
#

you'll do great I'm sure

#

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
#

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
#

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
#

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
#

yesssss

vale shard
#

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

frozen flicker
#

I so hope i can speak at code beam europe again

vale shard
#

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

frozen flicker

supple girder
#

Are you going to attend the afterparty at the N'JOY & Billard? I'd be keen on sharing a 🍺 or 🍷

frozen flicker
#

supple girder
#

it says on the conference's program that there is an afterparty at this place

frozen flicker
#

😮

supple girder
#

on Monday eve

frozen flicker
#

heck yeah

supple girder
#

great! looking forward seeing you in Krakow 🙂

uncut grove
#

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
#

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

#

lambda days is looking like a good lineup

frozen flicker
#

are you attending?

candid void
#

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

frozen flicker
#

awh 😔

arctic heath
#

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
#

this is the way

arctic heath
#

the weather should be nice

uncut grove
#

It better be

#

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

arctic heath
#

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
#

i arrive around noon on sunday

#

but i am definitely going to be

  • tired
  • paniced
arctic heath
#

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

uncut grove
#

Our piano teacher made us drink before a concert

#

Maybe we should get you drunk before the talk 🤔

frozen flicker
#

its unrelated to that one 😎

arctic heath
#

I meann it's still about lustre

arctic heath
supple girder
#

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

uncut grove
#

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

frozen flicker
#

😭

#

nooo

#

you shoulda come to my hotel to make slides

uncut grove
#

Oh nevermind I found a lovely group of clojurists

#

My time with gleam has come to an end

karmic robin
#

RIP the formatter

arctic heath
#

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

karmic robin
#

Oh that sucks

#

Bad ventilation is such a pet peeve of mine

frozen flicker
#

It was awfully hot

uncut grove
#

Yeah that was terrible

frozen flicker
#

Im so tired 🥱

#

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

uncut grove
#

Wear the lambda days t-shirt

#

I dare you

frozen flicker
#

i could neverrr 😭

uncut grove
#

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

frozen flicker
#

gonna lose your reputation

supple girder
#

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
#

@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
#

Thanks!

tall totem
#

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
#

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
#

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
#

It was great meeting you! See you in Berlin 💕

frozen flicker
#

okay i submitted at exactly midnight

#

so hopefully they get it

uncut grove
#

Im awake, but at what cost 💀

frozen flicker
#

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
#

Wooo so good

karmic robin
#

Bravo!

#

Those review scores always make me so nervous

frozen flicker
#

How come?

karmic robin
#

What if they I’m bad

frozen flicker
#

i think basically everyone always rates green out of politeness 😂

uncut grove
#

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

frozen flicker
#

jak gets it

karmic robin
#

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

#

I scored him red

vale shard
#

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
#

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