not really a question of being democratic. It is rather that the conference is in its initial stages - not like a well established conference like pycon where there are thousands of aspiring speakers. Here speakers would like to see who else has proposed talks and on what - the 'junta' would also like to see what kind of interest is being generated and what kind of level of speaker participation is going to be at. A lot of people who have something to say are diffident about it - but when they see X is proposing some sort of talk and then they say: If that guy can talk - so can I.
This makes a lot of sense. Thanks. Once Anand comes out with the CFP, we'll see how we can structure this so that the proposals are publicised properly. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in
