P.S. I think the bit that confused me is just that there are two 
deadlines listed for papers to be submitted - the January 15th one and 
the 'camera ready papers' one. What would help is if you said a bit more 
clearly what the submission and review process actually entails, rather 
than just listing the deadlines.

E.g.

' January 15th is the deadline for you to submit draft papers for 
consideration and review by our panel of experts. By xxx we will let you 
know if your paper has been accepted and give you the reviewer's 
comments. You then have till yyy to return the final version of your 
paper for inclusion in the programme.'

The other bit I found confusing is that the openconf system initially 
just asks you for an abstract, and uploading a paper happens in a 
separate step, so it's not obvious which of these you have to do by the 
deadline.

Hope this helps,
