Website stuff and CFP management sound like the places I'd be most suited to contribute. I have no social media presence these days, so I'm not likely to be helpful with promotion on twitter/linkedin/etc. I wouldn't know where to start with merchandising/swag, but if you have specific tasks you assign me, I'd be happy to help out.

Hi everyone. Quick update. Website is live and I created a slack conversation between @jdesrosiers @jviotti and myself to discuss the CFP submissions.
