-Hi everyone!

 The EmacsConf 2022 CFP was extended to Sept 30 with notifications to
-go out on Oct 15. $count talks were submitted before the original CFP
-deadline of Sept 18. As a courtesy to people who got their stuff
-together in a timely manner and to give them extra time to prepare a
-prerecorded talk (which might also translate into extra time for us to
-process and caption the talks), I'd like to send acceptances and
-tentative time allotments by Sept 30.
-
-I've added the talks to $private-git and included a summary below.

-If there's anything that you want to say **no** to or ask questions about,
-please reply to $org-private by **Sept 23**.
-
-I've also attached an Org file with the talk abstracts so that you can
-review it even if you don't have access to $private-git .

-Otherwise, if it's up to me, I'm going to stuff everything in. Mwahahaha! =)
