I've spoken at it the last 13 years, but I was thinking of skipping it this time.
I've also been on the committee the last few years. I don't yet know if I will be this year, but if you want my perspective on what gets accepted I'd be happy to share it. In general "state of TechnologyX" is tough to get accepted unless you are Rasmus, Larry or Guido. "How we did <challenging new project> at <high profile site> with <technologyX>" is a much better bet. OSCON always runs some talks along the lines of "saving the world with open culture", so a charismatic speaker with a non-obvious spin on that is worth a shot.

OSCON call for papers is now open:

Anybody considering? Thoughts?
If we are interested: OSCON is a tough venue when it comes to get proposals accepted. Good planning and coordination does help, and this is why I'm asking here & now.
