Oh thanks Jos that's sweet of you to say so. Though of course I was just building on the ideas already there, rewriting a bit so I'm probably getting more credit than I deserve :)
Also whoever did the Wiki page with the call for papers did a good job of outlining the key areas the conference covers so I used that as a guide.
Once the conference program is out - it'd be good if we could write a bit about the talks and workshops users can expect at the conference. It's not difficult work - take the description available, seek around to add some info and/or contact the author to tell a bit more about what he/she is to talk about and - dang, a new article.
Any takers for that?
I'd be more than happy to do some work on that, do you want to start a pirate pad and make it collaborative too? I have limited technical knowledge so that way of working is great for me.
Appologies for the late reply. Bryen has taken on this job and is now waiting for the conference site to have the abstracts. Vincent Untz and Gnokii promised to get those up there today or tomorrow, so this weekend Bryen will have a piratepad with the list of main topics, links to the abstracts and links to a piratepad for each topic (and if he doesn't have time I'll help out). So then it'll be simply opening one of the pirate pads on a topic that interests you and you can go ahead and start writing, based on the abstract. You'd be wise to check the speaker's blog or their projects website and maybe contact them for some up to date info. Thanks for offering to help out!
cheers, Helen
