Phil Bagwell Award & Closing panel
summary
Two Phil Bagwell awards go to Kenji Yoshida (2018) for hundreds of prolific PRs across the Scala ecosystem and deep, patient source reading that finds obscure bugs, and Kelly Robinson (2019) for co‑founding Scala Bridge and producing newcomer‑focused tutorials and workshops. Panel discussion details concrete next steps: revise courses for Scala 3 milestones, encourage cross‑building and CI on RCs, try libraries against milestones (Spark users can call Spark from Scala 3), and explore effects/capability research and JDK 11/tooling readiness.
