1 Introduction
The OpenACS and .LRN Spring Conference for 2007 is the 5th of a series
which focuses on the development of community based web sites and on
community based e-learning environments. The confernence is the user
and developer conference of the Open-Source Frameworks OpenACS and
DotLRN. Presentations and Submissions are not limited to these
frameworks.
The conference offers multiple activities for users and developers of
the framework as well as for people interested in the mentioned topics
in general. The program will contain tutorials and BOFs, two days of
presentations and workshops and the traditional bug bashing day.
While part of the presentations will be use-cases and research
developments, the workshops will focus on short-presentation of
approaches, discussions and some outcomes in form of a consolidated
opinion, state-of the art report or a proposal, which will be
presented in a common session.

3 Participation and Important Dates
3.1 Participation
The conference and workshops addresses practitioners, developers and
researchers in the topics mentioned above. Participants intending to
present their work should send a 2 page abstract to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Every presentation at the conference will take
about 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes discussions. The
presentations are reviewed by the program committee. The presentations
and papers will be published electronically on the conference web
site.
In addition to the presentation style conference program, we plan
Thematic Workshops to foster discussions on the workshop topics. These
workshops do not overlap with other workshops or
presentations. Ideally, every workshop will contain 3 or 4 short
position presentations (max 5 slides) that should fuel the discussion
in the workshop. The outcome of each workshop should be a document
summarizing the results, which might range from a consolidated set of
opinions to a road map paper inspiring the development of the
framework.
In the pre-confernce program, we plan Tutorials and "Birds Of a
Feather" (flocking together) sessions, which are informal group
discussions where participants wish to discuss certain developments or
problems.
We would like to encourage people interested to participate to fill
out the pre-registration form on
http://oacs-dotlrn-conf2007.wu-wien.ac.at/ . Participants intending to
present a short position statement should note their intensions and
