(Thanks Hans!)
The (sixteenth RacketCon) really will be in Oakland, CA on October 3-4 (Sat-Sun).
> RacketCon is a public gathering dedicated to fostering a vibrant, innovative, and inclusive community around the Racket programming language. We aim to create an exciting and enjoyable conference open to anyone interested in Racket, filled with inspiring content, reaching and engaging both the Racket community and the wider programming world.
Talks will be 20-25 minutes long with 5 minutes for questions at the end. Speakers' registration fees will be waived, but we are unable to cover transportation and lodging expenses.
The deadline for proposals is July 15th. Selected speakers will be notified by August 1st.
As in previous years, RacketCon will be streamed for those unable to attend in person. Recordings will also be made available on YouTube some time after the conference. Streaming users will have the option to purchase a remote participation ticket to support the livestream.
Let us know if you interested in joining the team. Someone has to carry and arrange all the parentheses. :banana:
