Summary

Brings the Call for Proposals deadline forward from 30 August to 31 July 2026.

Two reasons drive the change:

  1. Review quality — gives the programme committee enough time to review every submission fairly and thoroughly instead of rushing against the schedule lock-in.
  2. Speaker travel — earlier notifications let accepted speakers organise their trip to Dublin (flights, accommodation, time off, visas, financial aid) with more lead time and less cost.

The Sessionize submission page has already been updated to the new date.

Changes

  • hugo.toml: cfpCloses = "2026-07-31" — single source of truth that drives the /cfp/ hero, homepage banner, key-questions partial, and the JSON-LD availabilityEnds.
  • layouts/cfp/list.html: update the hardcoded FAQ JSON-LD answer.
  • content/blog/call-for-proposals.md: update the stated deadline.
  • content/blog/cfp-deadline-moved-to-31-july.md: new blog post explaining the rationale behind the change.

Verification

  • hugo --minify builds clean (exit 0).
  • Rendered /cfp/ shows Deadline 31 July 2026; FAQ JSON-LD shows closes on 31 July 2026.
  • New blog post renders at /blog/cfp-deadline-moved-to-31-july/.
  • No stale 30 August 2026 / 2026-08-30 references remain in source.
  • scripts/check-csp.py passes (17 domain/directive pairs).

Bring the Call for Proposals deadline forward from 30 August to
31 July 2026 to give the programme committee enough time to review
submissions thoroughly, and to let accepted speakers organise their
travel to Dublin with more lead time.

- hugo.toml: cfpCloses = 2026-07-31 (drives /cfp/, homepage,
  key-questions partial and the JSON-LD availabilityEnds)
- layouts/cfp/list.html: update hardcoded FAQ JSON-LD answer
- content/blog/call-for-proposals.md: update stated deadline
- content/blog/cfp-deadline-moved-to-31-july.md: new post explaining
  the reasons behind the change (review quality + speaker travel)

The Sessionize submission page has already been updated.
