<div dir="ltr">Hi all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I realised a couple of days ago that this year's <a rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" href="https://2018.foss4g.org" target="_blank">global FOSS4G 2018</a> ends on 31 August, followed by a couple
of days of code sprints & community events. Our presentation submission deadline (not the workshop deadline, which is tomorrow) is on 31 Aug.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It occurred to me that this isn't quite ideal for a couple of reasons. First, some potential presenters from our region may be in attendance at FOSS4G, and our deadline comes at a time when they'll be busy & distracted. Second, there will be great content
coming out of FOSS4G to inspire potential presenters, and it would be nice to take advantage of this inspiration.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>So, I propose:</b><br>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>We shift our presentation deadline from 31 Aug (Fri) to 4 Sep (Tues)</b></li><li><b>We begin our community vote on 5 Sep instead of 1 Sep, compressing the voting period from 14 days to 10 days</b></li></ul>
<div><span style="font-size:small; background-color:rgb(255,255,255); float:none; display:inline">This will also give people the advantage of having a weekend right before the deadline to work on submissions.</span><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thoughts?</div>
</div>
