Josh Butts@grmpyprogrammer @cascadia why on earth would you get banned off anything resembling that toot?
@grmpyprogrammer @cascadia pour the tea…….was it True North? 😂
Sarah Savage@grmpyprogrammer you got banned from a conference for posting that you were accepted?
Alena Holligan@grmpyprogrammer @cascadia BANNED!
kidding!!!
As a reference for those who are wondering, most acceptance emails state something like, "Please hold off on announcing your speaking position until we begin announcing speakers; this gives us a chance to reach out to the speakers that didn't make the cut!".
@grmpyprogrammer @cascadia As a schedule creator, we want to have a few "possible" talks in the genuine chance that not everyone accepts. Sometimes, things come up, and you can no longer attend. That's life, but to be respectful to all those who took their time to submit, we don't want to send a rejection and then say, "Sorry, we really meant to accept." We also would like to be the first to let people know that their talk was rejected and sometimes it takes a few days to get those out.
@grmpyprogrammer @cascadia it's also about topics of talks. People probably don't want to see every other slot filled with testing talks, but we definitely want SOME testing talks. So we need to be prepared for WHICH talks may not be a go.
Having just spent A LOT of time putting together the best possible schedule for the @cascadia attendees, I apparently have a lot to say :)
