Meet your fellow PC members + 2 small tasks
Dear PC of the seL4 Summit 2023! We are thrilled that you accepted the invitation! Please find below [0] our awesome team, from various parts of the seL4 ecosystem. To get started, we have 2 small tasks for you: 1- Website: we aim to announce the PC next week, so please check, by Friday 10 Feb, that you are fine with your name/affiliation/link as below [0]. If we don't hear back from you, we'll assume it's all good and we'll go ahead with the announcement. For the people that were on the PC last year, we'll use the same picture as last year. If you prefer a different one, please send it to Birg and I by Friday as well. 2- Themes/topics for the Call for Presentations: we suggest we keep the same topics as last year [1], as they are still good and relevant. But your thoughts/suggestions are welcome. Please send them by Tuesday 14 Feb. If we don't hear back from you, we'll assume you're fine with reusing the same topics and we'll aim to publish the CfP around Wednesday 15th Feb. Your next task (hopefully next week) will be to help advertise for the CfP, encourage submissions, nudge specific people you'd like to hear about etc. Remember: we aim to maximise the take away value. So you should think of it as: what would an ideal seL4 summit look like for you? What is the cool seL4 work that you heard about and would love to hear more about? The Call For Presentation is lightweight and informal. The aim is to attract the work we want to hear about or want the community to hear about. I’m just adding a 3rd tiny task: 0- if you don’t need to reply to 1 and 2 above because you happen to be fine with the default, can you please still send Birg and I an “ACK” email so we know we got the mailing list right? :) If you have any questions, let us know.

Thanks to all who already replied! You have now all been publicly announced :) [0] Friendly reminder to let me know if you have any changes suggestions on the topics for the CfP by Tue 14 Feb. Thanks! We’ll aim to get it out this week.
