I did two different (well, almost identical) drafts of the cfp announcement. If you have a chance, can you take a look (text below) and let me know:
1. Do you prefer one over the other?
2. Do you have suggestions for changes for the one you like better?
Nuritzi took a quick look and made a few edits, and we're planning to send out the final version in the morning. Sorry for the short notice! I sent this earlier but the email bounced.
