 The conference programme for FOSS4G NA seems to be composed of long
abstracts - I think that's the level required for us.

I think the community voting system needs titles, short abstracts, and long
abstracts. Voters see the title and short abstracts, and can click to see
the long abstract for clarification. I may be wrong in this, since there's
not a community voting session going on at the moment using the system.

 If the submission system doesn't let you post a blank section, I'd cut n
paste the short abstract into the long abstract box.

 And +1 on this being a bit sub-optimal.
