The few people that handle this are very busy sorting out the contract
with the venue. So there will be a delay in them responding to this
form.

If you want to discuss different tracks and ideas you can also ping me
directly (on this email). I am in the EuroPython program workgroup (we
basically deal with all the CFP and all the content and schedule
etc.). This will be my third year helping (in a fairly small capacity
tbh). Some of this work is already under way or just starting up.
