moin moin,
Is there room for invited talks? Or perhaps a local events track?
I think we have a good variety of tracks. We also get great presentations and I'm glad to see newish speakers get the opportunity. So, from a topics perspective, I don't see a need to wait and hope for more participation. I also mostly don't see what proposals we get, so it might just be lack of knowledge on my part :).
Even though I'm not local, I do see the advantage of working with local groups and events. That's one of the reasons I love that a couple of the local user groups meet at SCaLE Thursday night rather than their normal location.
Do we track people we've run into that we'd like to see submit a proposal and send them invites?
I'm pretty certain Matti does some of that. I am very certain I'm bad at that :(.
Still, the last couple years I have done so and know that got us some proposals. At least two have been accepted :).
Thanks to those who are about to slog through all the proposals! We appreciate your work. We also benefit from it :).
ciao,

imho
It would be very nice to have the deadline after some of the local events - like Hackaday supercon ( this weekend, 1st weekend of Nov. ) - where we can encourage those we meet there to post a presentation.
If we can do it even later - then we can promote the close of CFP at So Cal Code Camp LA - typically mid-November.
Closing it after either event imho would help us recruit presenters we may see at those events.
Of course, the other option is to close sooner than those events ( like we did this year ) - and allow an exception if we see some good presentations worth inviting.
Thank You

We can move it earlier, if we can announce it earlier. Later makes review very difficult with the holidays.

moin moin,
can we push the deadline back a day for SCaLE18x?
Having the deadline on Halloween makes it difficult to finish last minute reviews and proposals for many of us.
Hope everyone had a great Halloween :).
ciao,
