Not really, we've decoupled those two by having barcamp sessions. Also
we're going to prefer Fedora contributors irrespective of talk sessions
being accepted.
IMHO Fedora contributors whose talks are accepted should get hire priority
than only Fedora contributors interested in attending conference.
For non-Fedora or new contributors we will decide on their requests on
merit as well as available budget in addition to talk submissions.
Its good to get list of these people soon for better clarity.
