+The end of the EmacsConf 2023 call for participation is one month away
+(Sept 14; https://emacsconf.org/2023/cfp/). Whee! So far, we've sent
+early acceptances to the following talks and added them to the program
+on the wiki (https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks):
+
+| Duration | Title | Speakers |
+| 10 | An Org-Mode based text adventure game for learning the basics of Emacs, inside Emacs, written in Emacs Lisp | Chung-hong Chan |
+| 10 | Emacs for the Indecisive/Multi-Talented | Noah |
+| 20 | Authoring and presenting university courses with Emacs and a full libre software stack | James Howell |
+| 20 | Org-Mode Workflow: Informal Reference Tracking | Christopher Howard |
+| 20 | GNU Emacs for electronics, note-taking, and as lightweight IDE | Anand Tamariya |
+| 10 | A modern Emacs look-and-feel without pain | Pedro A. Aranda |
+| 10 | Writing a Language Server In OCaml for Emacs, fun, and profit | Austin Theriault |
+| 20 | LLM clients in Emacs, functionality and standardization | Andrew Hyatt |
+
+We sent the speakers https://emacsconf.org/2023/prepare/ in case
+anyone wants to get started on their presentations.
+
+There are several talks that are in progress (don't have speaker releases / full details / etc.):
+
+- Emacs Saves the Web (Yuchen Pei)
+- Emacs community information sharing? (Jake B)
+- Emacs MultiMedia System (Yoni Rabkin)
+- Emacs development updates (John Wiegley)
+- Watch Over Our Folders (Bastien Guerry) - penciled in, not sure if he can make it
+- How to build an Emacs 2: Revenge of the Lem (Fermin) - especially if
+  we can organize a mini-track about other editors; have reached out
+  to ThePrimeagen about Neovim and Musa Al-hassy about VS Code
+  
+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'd already have a pretty fun EmacsConf. Can't wait to see what
+it'll look like when more people get their proposals in!
