Re: Draft call for participation (maybe June 26?), lessons learned from last year

Wow!  It looks great.  I have only 2 more suggestions:  (Am I over my
quota?  Feel free to disregard that which you do not think is a good
idea.)

Going directly in the first sentence to what we want would be better on
this first paragraph:

"What have you found exciting about [Emacs]
(<https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/>) lately?  Have you figured out a
good workflow?  Have you used Emacs for something interesting?  Do you
want to share the story of how you got into Emacs?  Share with us what
you've been learning and meet other enthusiasts along the way at
EmacsConf 2023.  All backgrounds and all levels of experience are
welcome.  Emacs isn't just a text editor, it's a way of life!"

I learned by using Emacs that each sentence ends with double space for
ease of movement with C-a and C-e.  I think that it is a standard.  That
is why I have used double space.

Each of the rest of the headers can be sent when the person asks
something about those topics or the conference organization requires it.
 The least text we send, the more it will be read.  This first message
and how it reflects ease of engagement is crucial to call attention and
gain diversity.

Cheers!
