All presenters and related topics will generally be accepted but may be: declined if deemed "off topic" or may be deferred for a speaker with greater seniority regarding a suitable topic (i.e. committer to a major project) or requested to postpone or merge if it is closely related to another proposal topically and temporally.

Suggested Topics
