[Inpycon] Some thoughts on talks

> 1. Call for CFP at least 3 months earlier. Pycon US does it

+1 for this
One month time for submitting abstract , 15 days for review one month for
Camera ready copy (Final paper). If time permits it may also reviewed

+1 I think we can include CFP for this too


> 6. Tutorial tracks - Maybe have a lab or class-room for a dedicated
> tutorial track where people could sign up for tutorials on anything
