I wish we'd noticed a few days sooner. I've been thinking about
submitting a proposal for a talk, especially since the timing is so
good (September 13-15), but I'm having trouble coming up with a good
topic.
My leaning so far is to propose something related to the state of
library quality on Linux, dealing with both libc (the issues in glibc
and uclibc that lead to musl, and how glibc has been improving since
then) and non-system libraries that play a core role on modern Linux
systems (glib, etc.) and how they impact robustness (abort!) and
portability.
The idea is that it could be mildly promotional for musl, but also a
chance to promote proper library practices, possibly my definition of
"library-safe" (if we work out a good one), etc.
