First/last call for WWW9 XML Dev Day 2000.05.19
Subject: First/last call for WWW9 XML Dev Day 2000.05.19 From: Jon Bosak <bosak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2000 22:46:04 -0800 (PST) |
This is the first, last, and only call-from-the-chair for XML Developers' Day presentations at the Ninth International World Wide Web conference Friday 19 May 2000 in Amsterdam. The deadline for submissions is 15 February. See http://www.www9.org for further information about the conference itself. Since 1997, the XML track at WWW Dev Day has been a central event for developers of web-related XML software. If you have new web-related tools or especially interesting applications that use any of the XML family of core standards -- such as XLink, XPointer, XSL, XML Schemas, or the DOM -- here is your chance to share your latest accomplishments with other advanced workers. Proposals of 1-3 paragraphs clearly describing the presentation should be sent in plain text directly to the chair of the Dev Day XML track, Jon Bosak: bosak@xxxxxxxxxxx Remember, submissions must be mailed no later than Tuesday 15 February to be considered. TIPS FOR PRESENTERS Prospective presenters wishing to increase their chances of being chosen for the program are well advised to read this long paragraph that at first glance appears to consist entirely of tedious instructions that no hard-charging industry mover and/or shaker would bother to waste his precious time reading but upon further investigation proves to contain information about several tests that will be used to sort the good stuff from the corporate crud that always comes in by the bushel in response to calls for XML papers. Submissions that stand a chance of being considered will have the following properties. First, they will be in plain text as clearly specified above and not in some hideous machine-generated HTML dialect or proprietary word processing format. People who honestly do not know what their software is putting out will no doubt be forgiven their ignorance at the end of days but are not the kind we want to hear from in this track. Second, successful proposals will include a short title suitable for a conference program and an abstract of the proposed presentation rather than a request for my opinion about what might constitute a good topic. Third, they will be sent in by the presenters themselves and not by the presenters' secretaries, managers, or marketing people. And fourth, they will describe genuinely new and interesting developments or approaches -- preferably featuring running code -- rather than attempting to use the world's premier WWW technical forum as a stage for some tiresome commercial product pitch. Down here where only the truly dedicated will read it is another solicitation. XML is becoming Establishment Technology; it's time for some controversy. I would like to have one good inflammatory presentation on the schedule. If you have an ax to grind and can do so in an interesting and entertaining manner, send a proposal. See you in Amsterdam!
