A conference is nothing without its speakers, so we are calling for YOU to help level up the experience on Saturday, March 28, 2026. Please respond to each question with completeness and submit a new form for each talk idea. If multiple talks are being submitted, please indicate which one is your favorite. NEW this year in response to speaker feedback: Speakers will be reviewed and accepted in two (2) rounds. You can expect a response early December, or in the latter half of January. Not receiving an acceptance in December does NOT mean you won't receive one later. After the first round of review, we will reach out with any feedback or suggestions on your talk, including similarity to other submitted topics, places where clarity could be provided to better position your submission, etc.

Thanks to @SDF I'm checking out Interlisp-10 under the TOPS-20 operating system (aka TWENEX) running on DECSYSTEM-20 hardware. Lots of fun.

Oh no, the venerable FX2(LP) USB2.0 controller (fame of cheap logic analyzers and Glasgow) was discontinued earlier this year 😭
I can see this causing quite a headache to some people…
