GUADEC papers
I just sent a mail reminding people that the GUADEC papers submission deadline is coming up.
I think it’s important for people to send in submissions, because GUADEC is pretty much where we set a direction for the project for the year (and years) to come. We want GUADEC to be the rockingest free software conference of the year, and that means having people get a vibe going – by talking about cool stuff, sucking unsuspecting bystanders into their funky world, stuff like that.
Tutorials, brainstorming sessions and BOFs, flash talks, poster sessions, we want all this stuff. The planned talks branch of GUADEC is just one bit, and it probably isn’t even the most important bit.
Oh – and since there are currently fewer submissions than talk slots, we may yet have the Czech Biotechnologist Jens Würlinger giving a talk on the reproductive cycle of the Arctic tern, and how it relates to biohasard propagation (I think he sent the paper to the wrong address, but you never know).
So unless you want to hear Jens talk about terns for 3 hours, get your ideas in soon!
