I think we should clarify that only an abstract is needed to reserve a 
presentation slot.

And that full papers are at the author's discretion, and only for 
publication in the (on-line) proceedings. I don't see any need to ask 
people to write full papers just to get a speaking slot. (I would rather 
see people publish their work in journals than spending it writing up 
stuff for SwarmFest.)
