‪This year's @scaladays
is accepting 2 hour workshop proposals, in addition to the more usual 30 minute talks.

I'm thinking a workshop on building terminal apps using Scala Native could be fun. What do you think? What workshops would you like to see at the conference?

In general, I love this idea. Conferences are still based around 19th century ideas that we have to have 1 person talking to N people. With technology we can make things much more interactive. It's more work though, and a workshop takes the space of 4 talks, so it has to be worth doing.

Also, we're running an event this evening to help shape proposals, so come along if you need some help getting your proposal ready: https://www.meetup.com/london-scala/events/314859429/

As a committee member I'm gonna say that >90% of the current proposals could use some very basic improvements.

@noelwelsh as far as the format goes I've had most amount fun with:
1. unconference/open-mic, which allows more ppl to speak and walk out with real decisions or discussion however niche
2. coding spree/ "hackathon". you get to know new folks by coding something together or helping them make a contribution
3. chess-timer talk. speaker and audience each gets equal time for slide presentation and question/discussion. you can stack the audience with a panel
