I prefer the idea of two separate mails, but I will prefer to send the CfP after the mail calling for registration. If we aim to announce some "highlights" we may end using space for talks in the first-come first-serve basis, normally we never have problems to fill up events, even last year when we only have 1 month between the CfP and the deadline. I'm also afraid of people canceling on talks that we highlighted early, for scheduling purpose is great to know the speaker travel details. > People *can* register early, but if we don't make that official, we > don't run the risk of possibly having to send a second mail later > on reminding people to register (which makes the event appear IMHO two emails on *-announce is not a big deal, people will handle it quite ok :) Cheers -- René
