One concern :
 FOSSConf I think requires people to register before we they can
submit proposals.
 These registrations are different from delegate registrations since I
think they'd open up before early bird registrations for delegates.
 How do we do this?

I think August end is a little too late for final notification if the
conf. is to be held in September. People will have just 3 weeks to get
their slides/code in place. This is of course assuming that they're
not uploading the whole deal but only an abstract.

Perhaps we can make it like so

June 1            : CFP announcement
July 15            : Last date (gives 45 days to submit)
By August 10  : Selection and final notification. If we parallelise
the selection process, we do this quicker.

What do you feel?
