Apologies for cross-posts. The full call is below (and at http://www2006.org/developers/cfp.php), but in short we're looking for developers to present cool stuff. It can be anything from a 5 min lightning demo to a 30 min presentation. Of particular relevance here are the "Next Wave" sessions : an umbrella for all those Web 2.0 and Semantic Web things like blogging, microformats, Atom, Ajax, JSON, mashups, RDF/OWL, SPARQL... The deadline for proposals is the 19th March, but all we're looking for at this point is a short description (see below). --------------------------------------------------------- The developers' track consists of presentations by developers for developers. The audience is expected to be technically capable, and wanting to see a 'wow' factor with new functionality. Technical nitty-gritty is encouraged. Demos are good. Lightening talks consisting entirely of a demo are encouraged. To present your work on the developers' track, please respond to this call for submissions, by giving us a short description of what it is you would like to present, how long a presentation you would like to give, and indicate for which session(s) it would be appropriate. Submissions are made by email to the Developer Chairs (www2006-developers@www2006.org). Please send the following information: * Contact information * Presentation title * The preferred length of the presentation * The possible length of presentation, list all that you are willing to accept. lightning No more than five minutes, for a quick demo. Please choose this option, even if you would prefer to give a longer presentation. Not choosing this option indicates that you do not want to give a lightening talk, even if there is not space for you to give a longer talk. 10 minutes 20 minutes The current intention is to mainly have 20 minute presentations. 30 minutes * Session(s). Choose at least one session. List all sessions for which you think your submission is appropriate. Note: the final decision on which sessions will run has not yet been made, and will depend in part upon the submissions received. The sessions are as follows: + Mobile + Society + Health + Education + Science + Security + Online Media + Next Wave Web Technologies + Ontologies and Semantic Web + XML technologies: XSLT2, XQuery etc. * Some other material. This can be: + Short description, e.g. one page for a lightening talk, two pages for anything else. (This is best) + Slides: e.g. one or two slides for a lightening talk, ten or twelve for a longer talk. + A demo. This should be submitted as screen shots, with a short description. It is also possible to give a URL for your code/demo. (Unless you already have this material available, you are discouraged from creating it for submission). This other material should be in any of the following formats: + plain text + PDF + PNG, GIF, JPEG + Powerpoint (not preferred) + Word (not preferred) If you have more than one file to submit, please create a zip archive. Send a single file, or the zip, as an attachment with your proposal. If the attachments are too large, send an URL to them instead. * Optionally a URL to your demo or code The submissions deadline is March 19th (midnight in Hawaii). Special Low Rate for Independent Developers (limited availability) ------------------------------------------------------------------ We are pleased to be able to offer a special very low rate for independent developers presenting on the developers track. This is available only for self-financing developers (i.e. not receiving expenses from their employer or university), who are giving presentations on the developers track (including lightening talks). The rate is optionally: * a free "One Day Attendance" for the day that the developer is participating, or * £199 for a "Standard Passport" conference registration for the whole week. This rate is obtainable by email application to the Developer Track Chairs along with a presentation submission (see below). The chairs thank Hewlett Packard for their generosity in sponsoring this rate. -- http://dannyayers.com
