Unfortunately, due to a RL work conflict that I was unfortunately unable to reschedule despite significant efforts, I am not able to attend the conference this year. 

I e-mailed a couple of the organizers to this effect a couple of weeks ago, and have just discovered bounce autoreplies that seem to have landed in my spam box.  I don't know why my messages didn't go through when sent, but meh. :(

I am sorry that I won't be able to give my talk on BLP as planned and especially sorry if due to the aforementioned bounces this is the first the organizers are hearing of it.  If someone else would like to give a talk on that subject in the timeslot and is chosen by the organizers to do so, he or she should feel free to contact me and I will provide some suggestions.

Have a great conference, everyone.  I enjoy Wikimania and I like London very much and I am very sorry that I will not be able to be with all of you enjoying both.

And done. Thanks for bringing this up David, if anything else is incorrect please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Sorry all, the programming process dragged on as people variously pulled out or were slow to confirm, and then other concerns became more pressing. TheHelpfulOne has just volunteered to make sure all the submissions are marked with the correct status, so should be done soon.

Yes, me too. I guess none of submitters, whose submission was not
rejected after first screen got any notification about rejection.
