Hello,

The first window for AlpineConf 2021 talk proposals has closed, and so 
we're not really looking for more talks (though, a few may come in at the 
last minute and we'll certainly look at them).  All talk ideas have been 
accepted.

Now we are mostly focusing on the other things like BoF session ideas and 
bookend programming.

I split things into 4 main tracks:

* Project status: These talks are focused around specific initiatives 
being taken in the Alpine project, and are mostly focused at developers.

* System administration: These talks are about administrating Alpine 
systems.

* User stories: These talks are about things downstream users have built 
with Alpine.

* postmarketOS: There is enough content dedicated to postmarketOS, that I 
gave it it's own track.  Maybe we do a second smaller event for 
postmarketOS later in the year.

At present, Alpine 3.14 release is planned for the day prior to 
AlpineConf, so we might have a release party as a way of testing the 
streaming infrastructure and so on.
