Reviews

Literally no details in the proposal. I am inclined to reject it but the author's profile seems very interesting. Going to accept it for now.

I'd like to get more details about the talk. Frederick is a well known figure in the FOSS community, so it's bound to be interesting, but a more detailed description will certainly help!
