I might be sloppy in reading email announcements, but I dont remember
anywhere seeing CFP for GNOME Asia. And the deadline it says March 23.
CFP needs to be promoted better than this for sure. I wanted to talk
there, but was hoping to find more information on CFP soon. Shocked to
see that the deadline is just 3 more days away. PGO is the first place
I'd say.
