Glad that you like the plan :)

I think the source repository of the website is not available publicly, 
but you can probably test the user-side with last year's instance, at:

https://grafiklabor.cc/speakers/2023/speaker-info

As said on that page, you first need to enter the speaker's info, then 
you'll get a link by email allowing you to enter talk proposals. Please 
add "Test" in your entries so they can easily be filtered-out 
afterwards. And @all: please don't flood it with test entries ;)

Of course we'll also have to update the grafiklabor.cc website to 
reflect the fact that proposals/registrations will be for the LGM, 
replace French text on those pages with English text and for forms 
descriptions which already have both, put English first and French second.

Timo.
