Andrae and his gang will take some time, with over 100 submissions to consider, but the CfP is now definitely closed and the program committee is busy doing its thing. If you missed out on making a submission, you can of course still try to beg Andrae, but don’t push your luck as things do need to move along…
Browsing through the list of proposals, I’m very pleased with the number we received, and also impressed with the quality of the speakers and diverse range of topics. Most are from within Australia, but there are also entries from around the Asia-Pacific, and even as far as Austria and the USA. This should make for a fine program.
I was pretty darned sure that the original CfP specified that a decision on which papers got accepted would be made by 31st July, not that it would start after 31st July.
Bummer.
Nono, sorry to create confusion. The committee have already been at it for a bit.
We just left the CfP pages open longer as there were some laggards, and people to chase. There wasn’t actually a submission shortage, as you can tell ;-)
Anyway, my post was just an update on what’s going on. That said, the program committee is not yet done with its stuff, so no full notifications at this time yet.
