This is just a draft PR to do some initial testing,
but will eventually get content updates before we go live.

@plaindocs We aren't necessarily gonna ship the whole site w/ the CFP if we haven't reviewed it all, but we can always just swap the full site flag before shipping if needed.

Ah yeah, soz for coopting your PR in that case :-)

[ericholscher]

Copy edited the mailing -- overall looks solid.

Some edits and suggestions

[plaindocs]

Thanks for the eyes folks, I've merged all of that, with a couple of minor changes.

[ericholscher]

We need info much before that for social media posting, etc.

[plaindocs]

Yep, this is reverted in the CFP page, and I'll remove from here as well.

[plaindocs]

I also need to update the emails to go hand in hand, but that doesn't need to block this PR.

[plaindocs]

@ericholscher made some minor updates, will update the emails page separately. Wanna merge and post on Monday?

[ericholscher]

Looks good to ship.

What date do you want to announce speakers?

Right now, we have CFPs closing on January 21 and February 4 to notify speakers of whether they're speaking. We'll need at least a week to get confirmation from everyone that they're still able to speak. Are you wanting to announce February 12 or 13? That's a pretty quick turnaround so I am wondering if we should move up a date earlier.

Edits to the CFP page:

Under Conference goals

• Is the last paragraph supposed to be larger font and italicized?

Under Speaker benefits & logistics

• Benefits - need to bullet point out list
• Logistics - delete last paragraph as it’s a duplicate starting with, “Note that all speakers must read…”

Under Submit your proposal

• Move the following bullet points to a new section as this information needs to come earlier, “Spoilers, Research, Tooling, Example Proposal”. I called this Tips and added it hackmd

That's for the private confirmations, the announcement can come about a week after that yeah. But we don't need to publicize that either. So no action needed.

I've made the other edits, good calls there.
