Submissions to the conference program closed on time, and there were again many more offerings than could be accommodated. There has also been some discussion about the role of lightning talks in the schedule. All will be revealed shortly.

Thanks to our sponsors for their support of the conference and the Django community. Besides supprting the conference program, sponsors have provided the DSF with substantial funding for the two-day sprint that follows the conference proper.

Sponsorship opportunities are still open, and there may even be time to get in the program.
