Yes i could certainly do a presentation at the end of this month !
Also, for the longer term this year, here are a few subjects that i could help with
- creating your own spray directives by composing existing directives and playing with Shapeless HLists to change the dimension of a directive : that would be a good subject for a hands on session
- composing, consuming and creating your own play iteratees (e.g. Possibly coming from reactive mongo, so also of interest to those that do not use play directly). For those really hungry of information, we had to come up with a way to consume play iteratees with backpressure consumed from a spray http api (slow client, lots of data).
- something else that could be interesting for hands on sessions : akka-persistence. I haven't played with it a lot, but i think it's promising.
On the other side, if anyone has played with reactive streams / akka streams i'd be interested to see a talk on that
