@evan can I interest you int he topic of contributing to open source software? 😉

For real though: federation is hugely complex to build well and in a way that degrades gracefully and is intuitive to the user. Taking all that on, as a solo developer, while also building out pretalx, would probably do the project a disservice.

Pretalx *does* have a plugin API though, so a federation plugin would be totally possible!

@nemobis @evan Yup – pretalx is doing the CfP and scheduling part (including reviewing, speaker comms, and generally everything that would be a pain to do in a spreadsheet).

We're not really doing discoverability, because pretalx can be self-hosted, so there are hundreds of instances around. Because there are so many platforms, and that's surely a good thing!, having the schedule and the discoverability be discrete things is probably a good thing tbh.
