Re: GUADEC 2016 call for papers

[Ekaterina Gerasimova <kittykat3756 gmail com>]

Hi all,

This is a reminder that the call for talks closes today: please make
sure to submit your talk on time. You will not get another chance to
submit a full talk.

Call for lightning talks and BoFs will be open closer to the conference.


Thanks
Kat
