[Admin] Conference Announcements

Dear all,

It would be greatly appreciated if conference announcements and similar
were kept to an absolute minimum.  In particular, some guidelines to follow:

1. The conference should be *directly* related to Web Annotation or
otherwise be highly likely to accept papers directly focused on our work.
Thus, I Annotate is clearly fine, WWW 2015 is maybe okay, but we've seen
some go past that were only minimally relevant at best.  If you have any
questions, feel free to send the announcement to team-annotation@w3.org,
and we'll get back to you promptly.

2. Please only one announcement. If it was important and unknown the first
time, it would have made it on to people's calendars then. No need to send
CfP extensions, reminders and what not.

3.  Please put [Conference] or [CFP] in the subject.  Then people who
really don't care can easily filter out the noise.

For general mailing lists, where it's good to keep up with what is
happening in the community, conference announcements can be valuable. But
we have a very specific charter and work to do here, and the announcements
can detract from that goal.

Many thanks,

Rob & Frederick
