+We like to have at least a month to work on audio
+normalization and transcription, and we want
+speakers to have at least a month to work on their
+videos (considering early submissions will already
+have gotten started on processing).

+# Good/better/best
+
+This table makes it easier to move the slider depending on who wants
+to volunteer and how much we can get done. At some point, we&rsquo;ll figure
+out how to track our current status so we know what we need to
+scramble to do in order to get the conference off the ground. **bold**
+is our current goal. Feel free to volunteer for anything that
+interests you!
