Hello svg-developers,
I'm forwarding this call for participation here, because Extreme
Markup is a good and interesting conference; it is specifically
looking for contributions to do with markup and graphics this year -
which sounds like SVG. Something that integrates with other
namespaces, uses SVG to visualize other XML markup, or is in some way
innovative in its use of SVG would be particularly good. This is a
great chance to demonstrate SVG to a wider XML world, so please
consider it.
Dates for papers etc (note - complete papers, not just abstracts; and
papers written in XML, not Word :) are in the call below.
Its in Montreal. If you can't get to SVG Open in Japan in September,
come to Montreal in August. (I'm going to both conferences).
======
a friendly, technically challenging, intensive, thought-provoking,
argumentative, welcoming, obstreperous conference on markup,
managing information, and information structures
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
EXTREME MARKUP LANGUAGES 2007(r)
(a registered trademark of IDEAlliance)
THE MARKUP THEORY & PRACTICE CONFERENCE
Extreme is the leading international conference on markup theory and
practice.
If you have interesting markup applications, difficult markup problems, or
intriguing solutions to problems related to the design and use of markup,
markup languages, or markup tools; if you want to know what the leading
theorists of markup are thinking; if you are the house markup expert and
want to spend time with your kind, then you should plan on attending
Extreme Markup Languages(r) 2007.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Extreme is an open marketplace of theories about markup and all the
things that they support or that support them: the difficult cases in
publishing, linguistics, transformation, searching, indexing, and storage
and retrieval. At Extreme, markup enthusiasts gather each year to trade
in ideas, not to convince management to buy new stuff. At Extreme we push
the edges of markup theory & practice.
WHEN: August 7-10, 2007
WHERE: Montréal, Canada
HOST: IDEAlliance
