Web @ 25 @ The Graphical Web

Hi all, 

 

Apologies for cross posting (here and svg-developers) but it is both
SVG/CSS/HTML5/WebGL related and W3C-related, so it seemed appropriate:

As you may know, The Graphical Web (previously SVG Open) is preparing for
its 11th annual conference, hosted this year by the Office of National
Statistics in Winchester England, August 27 - 30 .

https://www.graphicalweb.org/2014/ 

In recognition of the 25th anniversary of the World Wide Web (WebAt25)
<http://www.webat25.org/> , the conference is working with our longtime
supporter, the W3C, to especially encourage contributions that might be
appropriate to that milestone! Consistent with this year's theme of "Visual
Storytelling" we have created a category for presentations which use open
graphical standards and technologies and which present graphical
perspectives on the history, impact and/or future of the World Wide Web.

The due date for submissions of abstracts for papers, presentations, panels
and workshops/courses has, accordingly, been adjusted to accommodate this
new category of submission (to be honest, we were contemplating this
anyway!). April 28th is the due date for submissions.

This year, our sponsors include Google Inc. and Adobe Systems Inc. though it
is not too late for your company to join in supporting this all-volunteer,
non-profit,  peer-reviewed conference! The SVG Working Group, we understand
will also have a face-to-face meeting in Winchester coincident with the
conference.

Cheers,
David
