[FOSS4G2016] Re-Cap for Call for Submissions

[Christian Willmes]

Hi,

I do not know how you submit your papers/talks for a conference, but I 
always wait until at least the last week before the deadline, so I think 
it is the normal case that until then almost no submissions are delivered.

Though, that does not prevail from advertising the CfP a bit more... :)

Speaking of this, it might not be very clear for everyone involved on 
how to put a link on a specific sub call for FOSS4G.
The Scientific Track, for example would have this link: 
http://2016.foss4g.org/programme.html#scientific-track

(If you look at the HTML code you find the links (<div id="*">) to the 
sub calls. For the example above this is "scientific-track" and appended 
after a '#' to the URL.)

I wonder, if there could be a submit button more prominently? Right now 
it is behind a linked "here" in the floating text. (But its just an 
idea, I know this may result probably in a lot of work and I do not want 
to ask this from anyone...)

Cheers,
Christian
