Just to update the list, instead of having a separate Debugging
Microconference, we're going to submit topics to the Monitoring and
Observability MC since that has a lot of overlap:
https://lpc.events/event/20/sessions/262/.

Serapheim: Usama, who is one of the Monitoring and Observability MC
leads, expressed interest in your topics and asked if you could submit
something.

Thanks,
Omar
