Thanks for posting this. I remember seeing the list from when I 
submitted my proposal but didn't save the link.

As a member of the planning committee for another conference that is 
taking place the week after Code4Lib I would recommend *not* 
procrastinating in getting a proposal submitted.

I've been on the planning committee for the past 5 JA-SIG conferences 
and in every case most wait until the last minute to submit their 
proposals and it causes a lot of grief among the planners as they wonder 
if they're going to get enough content to present the conference. It 
always works out in the end but it *still* causes a lot of grief for the 
conference planners.  What *has* helped us a lot is that several people 
have contacted us with an "intent to submit a proposal" as they wait for 
confirmation from their management that they might be able to attend. 
In the current economy there are a lot of higher ed institutions that 
are undergoing a lot of scrutiny on their travel budgets so I understand 
that many be reluctant to submit a proposal early.  In my case, I 
submitted a proposal early because I won't be allowed to travel to a 
conference unless I *am* presenting.  It's very likely that I won't be 
able to attend the JA-SIG conference even though I'm on the planning 
committee.
