The deadline for technical papers of this year's ICSE, the International Conference of Software Engineering, has been set to August 17 – a whopping 9 months before the conference takes place, and right in the middle of the busiest holiday month. In most of Europe, schools and kindergartens are closed for holidays during that time, because it is naturally assumed that you'll be on holiday, too. I can't even begin to speculate how such a deadline disrupts holidays and family time – and eventually harms the quality of submissions.
