I understand planning is hard, but it’s counterproductive for #Python conferences to run CfPs before #PyConUS2023 has sent out talk acceptances.

ESPECIALLY ppl who spend extraordinary amount of time on talk preparations make it dependent on it whether they write a talk at all.

This way you’re optimizing your schedule for ppl who get paid to give talks vs ppl reporting from the figurative trenches.

@hynek I don't understand the issue. Is it that people will prepare a talk only for PyCon and if they get a different talk accepted in a local con then they have to prepare two talks?

@hynek I have found that regional python conferences are more likely to accept new talks I've never given before, while PyCon US is happy to accept an encore presentation, so my pipeline usually ends up with say PyGotham 2023's talk being PyCon US 2024's talk.
