TOORCON 12 CALL FOR PAPERS

It's that time of year again! ToorCon 12 is coming so get your code finished 
and submit a talk this time around. We're letting you decide if you want to be 
a part of our 50-minute talks on Saturday, 20-minute talks on Sunday, and 
75-minute talks for our Deep Knowledge Seminars on Friday depending on how much 
time you need to present your new ideas and techniques. We evaluate our 
submissions in the order that they're received so submit your talk before time 
runs out! Track and time preference is always given to those who submit talks 
that fit the theme of the conference. If you haven't already figured out what 
the theme for ToorCon is this year, read this paragraph another time.
