I was on the verge to cutting the schedule down to one day, but 
thanks to some last-minute submissions, looks like we'll have 
enough content now to stretch across two days!

Thanks to everyone who submitted a proposal. I'll be in touch 
with each of you soon to discuss how to proceed. For everyone 
else, keep an eye on the DConf Online 2020 homepage for the 
schedule and other announcements.

https://dconf.org/2020/online/index.html

Also, please don't forget, we could use your support! Help us out 
by purchasing some DConf 2020 swag from our online store:

https://www.zazzle.com/store/dlang_swag?rf=238129799288374326

We receive a commission on all the produces listed there. Plus, 
anything you by via the above link, whether it's our swag or 
something else, will send a little more our way in referral fees. 
All the proceeds go into our General Fund.

You can also help out by donating directly to the General Fund:

We'll be pulling a little from the General Fund to provide DConf 
Online 2020 t-shirts and coffee mugs to our speakers and prizes 
to random participants during the conference.

Yay! How close was it? Half the submissions in the last six hours?

A couple during the extended week, a couple at the deadline, and 
a couple of people who had offered to do something if there 
weren't enough submissions.

Wow! A week ago you told that there was only one relatively late 
submission besides the keynotes. I thought that if all the other 
potential submissions missed the deadline, setting another 
deadline can hardly fare better. But it seems I was wrong. 
Congratulations for everyone who offered to talk!

And I'm positive there's more.

 Thanks to everyone who submitted a proposal. I'll be in touch 
 with each of you soon to discuss how to proceed. For everyone 
 else, keep an eye on the DConf Online 2020 homepage for the 
 schedule and other announcements.

Would you accept extra-late proposals?

Yes, with the understanding that priority goes to those who met 
the deadline. If I don't use it for the conference, I still need 
content with which to seed our new YouTube playlist.

I thought the question was regarding the forums. For twitter, 
I've always just used #dconf.

We're supposed to submit a five-minute sample no later than the 
4th of October.

And I just realized that technically, given the West Coast 
timezone is nine hours behind Germany, I can actually record mine 
at 6am at work tomorrow and still be comfortably on time. Which 
means I don't need to do it on a Sunday!~

Should I stop routinely pushing things out until the very last 
conceivable moment? *Maybe...* But clearly not today. :)
