Punderings

Y’all really want to stress me out, don’t you? Waiting until the traditional last minute to submit papers, right before the deadline this coming Thursday, 3-April? Especially since we can’t really extend the deadline, since we need to organize the papers before the planning meeting at the conference. Sigh.

To stimulate your CFP writing, I will present a few kudos about current CFP trivia:

• Total number of US CFPs: Following the usual curve, which means not enough yet
• First US CFP Submitter: Christian Wenz – Thanks!
• Top US CFP Submitter: Rich Bowen. Wait, he doesn’t count.
• Top US CFP Submitter not including Rich: Paul King

We have plenty of space coming up in New Orleans, and we’ll have a few new ideas for programming things like Fast Feather and Community Spaces, so get in all your ideas for CFPs. Don’t forget that our US audience and European audience often have different perspectives, and considerably different sets of attendees.

Thanks!
