Tired of writing endless XML or Java code to build Apache Camel routes? Say hello to Apache Karavan a visual designer that lets you craft, run, and deploy Camel integrations directly from your browser.

The speaker mentioned lightning talk in the description. +1 for that. Suggesting to categorize the talk accordingly (it is currently a bigger talk). It'd also help if the speaker can add their tutorial code in the references

The talk is good, we can go ahead. This will have to be moved to lightning talk, also importantly the speaker should cover Camel also and give some overview of it. Also the title can be updated - 'Drag, Drop, Deploy: Building low-code (or no-code) integrations with Apache Karavan' to make more sense.

Interesting topic covering ease of deployment. The talk can be considered as a lightning talk including a demonstration for quick explanation of a use case by the speaker.

Reviewer #3
Approved

Proposal mentions lightning talk but the speaker has applied for a standard talk slot. It's a"maybe" for a lightning talk but not very keen since I'm not sure if the proposer has production experience with the stack or has contributed to the project.
