It's worth noting that we don't expect _papers_ to be the primary
engine for attendance. We want to really focus on the "do-con" aspect
this year, and get people to collaborate rather than to deliver talks.
We still will have some talk tracks, but we won't make speaking our
main decision point for contributors who require assistance with travel
funding.

This makes sense, I wasn't intending to imply otherwise. But definitely
helpful to be clear and transparent about this anyways. :) Thanks.
