I think we should plan to get the CFP out by this year as much as
possible.

The moment we push it to Jan it has a tendency to leapfrog into May
and June - speaking from past PyCons.

Let us discuss the items to get the CFP out ASAP - that is very
important to push up the quality of talks for next year. I suggest
to open a thread to discuss the sub-tasks involved in getting CFP
out by Dec.

I think we should make a call for early conference than later. The
moment we push it to Oct+, the festive season starts and all kinds
of distractions come in.
