If only this were so. History says that 50% of submissions will come in
the last week, and almost 50% of *that* in the last 48 hours. People do
like to put this off as long as possible.

Related: I just sent a CFP export to planners@ and you can have a look
there to see what the current state is of the community track, and D&I
submissions.
However, the people here on this list right now are the ones best placed
to submit those D&I talks, or to specifically go out and invite the
people that we want to give them. Please, if you know the right people
for this, do go be proactive in inviting them.
