[FOSS4G-Oceania] Motion: shift presentation deadline by 4 days

[Philip Mallis]

+1 to all three points of David's message. Makes sense to me and is standard practice.

+1 to shift the deadline
+1 to announce on the day because it's so common that presentation deadlines are extended
+1 to shorten to 10 days .. we'll need to put a final program together, and we shouldn't eat into that time - 10 days is plenty

+1 to the deadline shift, no preference about how to announce it. And again, well spotted!

I think we could still keep 14 days for review, we’re not pushing for early bird deadlines anymore.

-0 for me the proposal to shorten community review.

Good insight John.

I'm all for the shift in deadline. No preference on whether we announce it now or on the day.

Can we call it an extension,  announced just on the day,  so to not have to make another extension?  People always count on that :)

Hi all,

I realised a couple of days ago that this year's global FOSS4G 2018<https://2018.foss4g.org> 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.

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.

So, I propose:

  *   We shift our presentation deadline from 31 Aug (Fri) to 4 Sep (Tues)
  *   We begin our community vote on 5 Sep instead of 1 Sep, compressing the voting period from 14 days to 10 days

This will also give people the advantage of having a weekend right before the deadline to work on submissions.

Thoughts?
