From 69913729f03972deb9102ce418717b96536b5591 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amin Bandali Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2022 23:28:10 -0400 Subject: * 2022/cfp.org: Update the bit about submissions and review. We have decided to try dropping the anonymization of submissions before review by organizers this year. The anonymization effectively excluded one of the organizers from doing reviews (me, for the past few years), and given that we're already a small team we may want to avoid that. Especially considering that we've essentially been able to accept all the proposals we've received for each EmacsConf so far. Instead, encourage people to help review the submissions by joining the selection/review committee, directly in the CfP text. --- 2022/cfp.md | 10 +++------- 2022/cfp.org | 10 +++------- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/2022/cfp.md b/2022/cfp.md index 95abd3cf..93f2a81d 100644 --- a/2022/cfp.md +++ b/2022/cfp.md @@ -165,13 +165,9 @@ We'd also love to receive suggestions on how we can best help you and other prospective speakers interested in giving a talk at EmacsConf.
