The CfP office hours is a chance for you, a prospective speaker at #KafkaSummit, to come along and chat with others familiar with the process.
Perhaps you've got an idea but you're not sure if it would be suitable, or maybe you've got your abstract drafted and would like someone to read it over and give feedback.
We can't write your abstract for you, but we can give you some useful tips. I've collected together advice previously here: rmoff.net/2020/01/16/how…

Submitting an abstract for a conference? Remember the basics like paragraph breaks. If a reviewer finds it harder to read yours vs another, guess which one gets favoured?
A popular conference is going to have 100s of submissions, and little things like this matter, a lot.
It would be great to think that reviewers can telepathically discern your intent in an abstract by spending 20 minutes poring over the words, right? In practice, you're lucky to get 20 seconds. Layout, grammar, spelling, verbosity - all these matter!
Verbosity is an interesting one. Too verbose and you get marked down for being too unfocused, the concern being that if you can't pinpoint the purpose of your talk concisely in an abstract are you just going to waffle in your actual talk?
