Is there any time range for when this will be? I remember seeing
original estimates for May 1 to May 30, but obviously this isn't the
case. Will there still be a full month to submit or will it be a shorter
window? I know some people also have to start the visa process (with
invitation letters) months ahead of time to plan travel to the US, so it
will be helpful to know what a timeline might look like for the CFP window.
While I don't speak for the planning team, the last I heard, the CFP
window was intended to be at least ~4 weeks.
Given the conference is supposed to be action/work-focused, it seems
to me this is pretty reasonable. Those folks who are motivated to do
good stuff at Flock will likely have no problem getting a proposal in
during that size window.
Also in other good news, Patrick and Mo have been working hard on the
registration and almost have it ready.
