Kscope Submission Ideas

Have you been thinking about submitting an abstract for Kscope? The submission deadline for Kscope18 is fast approaching! Submissions close on January 5, 2018!

Some of you may still be struggling to think of some topics. I’ve asked Dietmar Aust (Kscope18 APEX Track Lead), and Helen Sanders (Kscope18 Database Track Lead) for help with some topic ideas that would get your creative juices flowing. Scroll down and browse through the topics that are sure to trigger some ideas.
Aside from these general ideas, it is always great to hear about real-world projects. How were they approached? What were the challenges and which lessons were learned? This will help others to use good judgment and avoid problems proactively.

Finally, I should add, the list below is by no means inclusive. There are many other topics you could cover.
