Hello @Shehanka and team - allow me to introduce myself as the new KCD Program Manager coming in to help @k8tgreenley.

I am checking in to see if you want to extend your CFP and postpone the event dates since there are only 3 submissions that I can see in SMapply? I realize you already extended once (from 30, June to 8, July).

Hi Katie, Please extend the CFP since we have postponed event to 3rd September

[AudMonte01]

Hi @Shehanka - I had already extended it to close at midnight tomorrow, 23 July Sri Lanka time. That will allow 6 weeks time to let speakers plan for the event. Given there are still only 3 proposals submitted, would you like it open a little longer? Or do you plan on curating some of the content through the yours and the other organizers' networks?
