  I've been working on OSCON, sorting out rooms and tracks and trying to drum up proposals. We're on a really tight time budget once the proposals come in, so if you're thinking about submitting something then you should do it sooner rather than later.

        You appear to be in the 1% of people living in the real world. Every year we get a ton of last-minute "hey! I missed the deadline but can you take my proposal anyway?" messages.
