Elektra and Peg (ameba23), check ou the mailing list archives. :)

The basic "call for talks" mail goes to our battlemesh mailing list and is 
usually forwarded by other people to other mailing lists where people think 
its appropriate. Of course, you can do the same thing or send it to 
people/groups which you would like to invite/motivate to do a talk. :) Going 
by last years endorsements list is certainly a good idea ....

Last year we had some "official" mail address where people could send their 
talks proposals to, which were then collected (sometimes you have to ask for 
an abstract/more details), sorted, possibly rejected (if there are too many 
talk proposals or they don't fit the topic at all), scheduled (not all people 
stay all the time), etc. Also we had a group of people which were taking care 
of that, especially for the talk review it is not a bad thing to do this in a 
group. Anyway, for the mail address detail please ask clauz and/or Saverio. :)

Cheers,
    Simon
