Yes, the way that conversation unfolded was regretable, muddled, and
misleading. I apologize for how that all unfolded.
Clearer policies, and documentation, of what kinds of events we are able
to support, and exactly how we can support them, are a must going
forward. And that's on me.
Regarding JBCNConf, I have some tweets scheduled, and will update that
as soon as we have a published schedule. I will look to you for help
identifying which talks we want to highlight.
Thanks.

Yes, we do intend to promote this event. We already have Twitter content
scheduled, and would be glad to add your talk (if accepted) to that
content.
