How does Tuesday the 20th at 7 sound?
Works for me.
Sounds like I'll do a lightning talk, Jeff and Alex can decide on their chosen talks, please send me abstracts so I can add it to the website!.
Sounds great. My title will be "The Polar Policy Language", and here's a more formal abstract:
In this talk, I'll discuss the design and implementation of Polar, a declarative policy language aimed at solving complex authorization problems. A Polar interpreter forms the core of oso, an open source authorization engine that you can embed in your application. Polar rules can access application instances and specialize on (multiple) application-defined classes, which allows policies to be cleanly separated from application code but still have direct access to the data needed to make authorization decisions. Applications in a variety of languages (currently Python, Ruby, Java, JavaScript, and Rust) are supported by a shared core, written in Rust, together with a host-language library that communicates with the core over an event-based FFI.
Thanks,
