I've received exactly one submission for DConf Online. Two

So this is the last call. The deadline has been extended to
Sunday, September 6 AOE. This makes or breaks the conference.
If we don't have enough talks submitted, it ain't happening.
I've gotten one more submission. We'll need more than that.
Let's go, folks!
hi
okay, if I'm literally the only one that's kind of problematic,
yeah. Let's see how it goes on Sunday.
I'd guess that ... like, either ultimately a structured online
conference just isn't something people are interested in or think
is useful, or the effort of recording videos poses too much of a
roadblock. You wouldn't think that flying to London would be more
effort than making a video, but it wouldn't surprise me. Or right
now maybe people are keeping their ideas for the next in-person
DConf, so if Corona keeps up we'd see more talks next year.
You know what, let's ask. Anyone here who considered submitting
but didn't, would you share why not?
