@tanhauhau Yes Svelte!!! Thanks alot for sharing about that! We definitely can squeeze in 3 talks but we thought it's better to spread it to next month. Would you mind speaking in Sep instead?

[tanhauhau]

OK. Will confirm again when the date is confirmed

[eriknguyen]

Cheers! Tentatively it'll be on the 23rd of Sep
