Uh-uhm. I wish we had been faster at announcing the poster session, but I can't rollback time. OTOH, we scheduled a total of 4/5 weeks for the whole CFP because 85% of talks usually arrive in the last 3 days, so it looks like the common pattern is that people become aware of CFP at some point, take a brain note "I should propose something", and then when they start seeing tweets or mails saying "hurry up! CFP closes this week", they actually sit down and submit the proposal. Last year we had a 2-months CFP and we decided it wasn't worth it. Sliding all deadlines by one week would be unfortunate; we are trying to make the early bird period finish earlier compared to last year, and there is a strict correlation (end of CPS => community voting => schedule online => end of early, the idea being that you can't close the early before or too soon after the schedule is published, otherwise it's not really an early bird but a "blind bird"). So, I would prefer to do that only if it ends up being an actual problem (= too few submissions). Notice also that a fallback in case of few poster submissions is to talk to authors submissions which are not accepted during the community voting, and ask them if they want to do a poster instead. -- Giovanni Bajo :: ra...@develer.com Develer S.r.l. :: http://www.develer.com My Blog: http://giovanni.bajo.it _______________________________________________ Europython-improve mailing list Europython-improve@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython-improve
