Hello all,
We’ve gotten some questions on what qualifies for a talk vs a poster after we encouraged package authors to submit a poster about their package. We hope the following points would help clarify on what qualifies as a poster vs a talk:
- We consider posters to be a suitable venue for in-person #pkg-announcements. Your poster could be as simple as your package README. A poster introduces the idea of a package in general.
- This could be in addition to submitting a talk about a particular package feature, or improvements to your package. In other words, you’re welcome to submit a talk about improvements made to your package and and separately also submit a poster about package XYZ in general. For example, a talk could be titled “What’s new with XYZ.jl?” and the poster could be titled “Meet XYZ.jl” for those who haven’t heard of your package.
- Finally, our advice is to err towards “just submitting”. We encourage you to submit your ideas!
Best,
