For the record this also happened in 2012. In fact in that case, some people weren’t notified that there submission had been unsuccessful until the conference was over! Perhaps the lesson for future Wikimanias is that the programme should be settled earlier on.

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.

rejected after first screen got any notification about rejection.
