JeanHeyd Meneide (aka "The PhD"), Software Engineer and the Project Editor for ISO/IEC JTC1 SC22 WG14 - Programming Languages, C, had their RustConf 2023 talk demoted from keynote to regular talk and has subsequently decided to leave the program roster. I want to first of all thank for the blog post that identifies a lot of the issues well, and is careful to point in the right directions. Some may wonder, however, why all of this is a problem and how such a strong reaction is warranted. I'll give my perspective as someone who ran program rosters for over 20 conferences, among them RustFest 2016-2018, OxidizeConf and others. I fully support the action and am eagerly awaiting a full disclosure of the Rust project how this happened. The relationship between the conference organiser and the speaker is one of mutual consent and trust. A good speaker makes themselves vulnerable and shares thoughts (potentially rough and unfinished) in trust with the audience, the conference organiser provides the stage and said audience. It is of utmust importance to keep this relationship intact at all times. This also means to hold communicated agreements. The most important thing in this is that once an agreement to speak is found, no changes are done without the consent of both sides[1]. Changes happen, this can be as small as a slot change to a complete topic change. All of these have happened to me - how do you never see that? Because the two parties have a conversation and the conversation ends when both sides have found the way to pull the program off. Again, on mutual consent. This has not happened here - the organisers got in touch, informing the speaker that waving at an unadressable group, claiming an authority (the Rust project) and demote the keynote. It was not voiced as a concern or an opening of a discussion. JeanHeyd had no way to address the concerns (especially as the concern-havers have not been in the room to my reading). They were handed down the decision, without the ability to reject or find another solution. This breaks mutual consent. Dropping out of the talk is the minimal response to this.
