Do you know who already submitted an LT and what the topic is?

[GenPage]

@danieloh30 I did, however the Maintainer Track during the main conference didn't allow for selecting the talk type (LT vs Session vs Panel) I did a generic topic titled "A Quick Look at TAG App Delivery".

For the Panel discussion, let's aim to have a more concrete topic. Panels with broad topics like "what is TAG App Delivery?" can be boring and most people don't know what that means. What about the following:

Title: Trends around platforms, devex and infrastructure for 2025

Abstract

In this session, working group leaders from the TAG AppDelivery initiative will share their opinions and trends that they are observing in the industry around platform engineering, developer experience, and infrastructure tooling. Attendees will gain insights into projects, practices, and tools changing how high performers deliver software.

I'm thinking of a more specific title for the panel discussion.

• Shaping the Future: Platform, DevEx, & Infrastructure Trends for 2025
• Evolving CNCF Landscape: Platform, DevEx, & Infrastructure Trends in 2025

I also updated the abstract a bit:

This panel discussion brings together leading voices from working group leaders of the TAG App Delivery initiative to explore emerging trends shaping the future of software delivery. We'll discuss the evolving landscape of platform engineering, examining how innovative practices and cutting-edge tools empower app developers and streamline infrastructure. Through insightful discussions, attendees will understand the key factors driving success in modern software development and discover how to leverage these advancements to enhance their delivery processes.
