[[!date "2023-08-14"]] [[!meta title="EmacsConf 2023 CFP progress report (8 talks accepted so far, 1 to review, 6 todo)"]] 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>): <table> <colgroup> <col class="org-right"> <col class="org-left"> <col class="org-left"> </colgroup> <tbody> <tr> <td class="org-right">Duration</td> <td class="org-left">Title</td> <td class="org-left">Speaker</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="org-right">10</td> <td class="org-left">An Org-Mode based text adventure game for learning the basics of Emacs, inside Emacs, written in Emacs Lisp</td> <td class="org-left">Chung-hong Chan</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="org-right">20</td> <td class="org-left">Authoring and presenting university courses with Emacs and a full libre software stack</td> <td class="org-left">James Howell</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="org-right">20</td> <td class="org-left">Org-Mode workflow: informal reference tracking</td> <td class="org-left">Christopher Howard</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="org-right">20</td> <td class="org-left">GNU Emacs for electronics, note-taking, and as lightweight IDE</td> <td class="org-left">Anand Tamariya</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="org-right">10</td> <td class="org-left">A modern Emacs look-and-feel without pain</td> <td class="org-left">Pedro A.

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! Sacha
