The end of the EmacsConf 2023 call for participation is one month away
(Sept 14; <https://emacsconf.org/2023/cfp/>). Whee! So far, we&rsquo;ve sent
early acceptances to the following talks and added them to the program
on the wiki (<https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks>):

This time last year, we had 2 proposals, with most of the proposals
coming in at the end of the CFP. This was usually when we started
panicking about not having lots of proposals, but I think we can skip
stressing about it this year. <laugh> Even with the program as it is
now, we&rsquo;d already have a pretty fun EmacsConf. Can&rsquo;t wait to see what
it&rsquo;ll look like when more people get their proposals in!
