[OHM] SOTM US proposal deadline

[Jeff Meyer]

Totally agree with Richard's assessment.

Does anyone know who's making the selections or organizing the session
structure? Is there enough for a mini-track (half day?) of historical
sessions? Would that make sense? Also, it would be a shame if the tech
challenges section were scheduled at the same time as a talk about
something that might help with those challenges. (e.g. using vector tiles
to help solve shoreline generation problems.

Any chance Albin will be attending? His recent work might make a good demo.
