.vimconf.swp is an official VimConf 2018 event. This meetup asks the Vim hackers who's talk proposals weren't accepted (i.e. rejected) to talk, and also the VimConf staff to talk about VimConf 2018 itself. If you know about RejectKaigi for RubyKaigi it's probably easy to understand what the concept is. This is not part of this international Vim conference VimConf 2018 itself, but this is hosted by some of VimConf 2018 staff.
