Scala Days is the premier conference in the Scala community, so if your talk wasn't accepted, there's only one thing to do: try again next year, try harder, push the limits further, work harder to create an excellent proposal. And trust that you'll have more luck next time!

Yes, sorry it came across that way. I'm gutted that my own talk wasn't accepted, but the
@scaladays CfP committee have a very difficult job: they have to reject a majority of talks, and I bet that most of the rejected ones were great too.
We're competing at the top level for the most prestigious talks at the biggest conference with the biggest audience of the Scala calendar. It's no wonder that it's really competitive.

This is our own experience choosing talks for
@ScalaItaly , tons of awesome proposal and limited space to room them all. That's why we extended the conf to 2 full days. Of course I invite you all to submit your proposal, the CfP will open soon. -
Third time is the charm

But I'm reasonably sure there's no bias towards sponsors as you suggest. The conference is organized by the Scala Center, not Lightbend this year. I submitted the best talk I could, about what I believe is a very exciting project; I'm a platinum sponsor, and it wasn't accepted.

My submission was also rejected. Rejection is a natural part of any application process. Attributing blame to phantoms doesn't achieve anything when we don't know the accepted talks or acceptance criteria. All we can do is learn from it and try again next time

If everyone works harder it'll just produce a set of better, but equally competitive proposals and the story will repeat. It will be more effective if we, the speakers, coordinate among ourselves and decide who will propose a talk and who will refrain and get something in return
