Would that be possible? i suspect that the deadline isn't going to be as hard as it sounded, and as far as i'm concerned: if there is a good-looking track under development, with a solid coordinator bottom-lining it, and that coordinator says "hey, this proposal is coming in after-deadline, but i really think it would fit in my track well", i'd be inclined to honor that proposal. That said, the later it gets, the more difficult it gets to change schedules around, so i wouldn't want this to encourage people to slack on proposal submissions just because they think they can squeeze things through on a track basis. --dkg PS Michael, your name has been floated as someone who might be a good math/science track coordinator, esp. seeing your debian science round table proposal. Have you considered that role?
