Currently the talk submission process is "ping someone you know and ask," which doesn't scale super well and also requires more effort than is necessary.
SO! Let's add a link to a form where folks can submit their talk ideas!
Where these go
As is current practice, the Board of Directors vets and schedules talk submissions. Currently interested speakers email/DM/carrier pigeon a board member they know directly. This form makes the process of submitting to the board that much simpler, and will hopefully reduce friction for new speaker submissions.
Long-Term
Using a Google form is fine for now, but eventually we'll want the submission process built into the application. We don't have a specific milestone for when that will become necessary, but PRs are always welcome for folks who want to give it a crack.
If you're interested in helping with this, hit us up in our slack. If you need an invite you can get yourself one here.
