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.
To clarify: I did not mean the submissions would already be in, but that
most people who will turn them in on the last day have already given the
matter at least some thought.
Can the D&I papers fit in the Community track? Does Diversity need a
separate partial track?
In some ways going in the Community track seems better to me because
there may be more opportunity to bring diversity issues to the attention
of people who are interested in Community but not yet thinking about
diversity.
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.
