Scipy08 Paper submission deadline extention to Monday 30th

The deadline for submitting abstracts to the Scipy conference was tonight. In order to give you more time to submit excellent abstracts, the review committee is extending the deadline to Monday (June 30th), and will work hastily to get all of them reviewed in time for the program announcement, on Thursday July 3rd. ---- The SciPy 2008 Conference will be held 21-22 August 2008 at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California. SciPy is a scientific computing package, written in the Python language. It is widely used in research, the industry and academia. The program features tutorials, contributed papers, lightning talks, and bird-of-a-feather sessions. We are soliciting talks and accompanying papers (either formal academic or magazine-style articles) that discuss topics which center around scientific computing using Python. These include applications, teaching, future development directions and research. A collection of peer-reviewed articles will be published as part of the proceedings. Proposals for talks are submitted as extended abstracts. There are two categories of talks: Lightning talks These talks are 10 minutes in duration. An abstract of between 300 and 700 words should describe the topic and motivate its relevance to scientific computing. Lightning talks do not require an accompanying article (although, if submitted, these will still be published). Paper presentations These talks are 35 minutes in duration (including questions). A one page abstract of no less than 500 words (excluding figures and references) should give an outline of the final paper. Papers are due two weeks before the conference, and may be in a formal academic style, or in a more relaxed magazine-style format. If you wish to present a talk at the conference, please create an account on the website http://conference.scipy.org. You may then submit an abstract by logging in, clicking on your profile and following the " Submit an abstract " link. Gaël, on behalf on the SciPy08 organizing committee.

Hey Chuck, If you question is: how do you, as a member of the review committee, get to read the abstracts, the answer is that I will send a pdf with all of them. I am really sorry, I sent an e-mail to the other reviewers giving this information, but somehow I forgot to put you on my list. Thank you for reminding me. Ga�l
