No idea, I just read this comment from the CfP :

"""
FOSS4G is the international geospatial community’s event, thus the main
selection of talks will be done through the open community voting
process. The highest-scored ones will automatically be included in the
program, while the others will be reviewed by the FOSS4G 2019 Bucharest
volunteer Program Committee. Its members will make sure that the
conference program will be well-balanced, diverse and they will make
sure that every OSGeo project will have a “State of ” kind of presentation.
"""

As for features, Marco's presentation will be relevant. It may be
interesting to have something more project-oriented to have a general
overview, with QGIS.ORG status, project dynamics, etc.

We can also ask the program committee to know exactly what they would
want to hear.

Regards,
Vincent
