[Moderator's note: "IPC8" is the "8th Internatinal Python Conference", organized by the "Python Software Activity" (PSA), taking place 24-27 January 2000 in Alexandria, VA, USA.] IPC8 Call For Demos and Posters Important Dates * Nov. 30 : Deadline for demos and posters. * Dec. 15 : Notification of acceptance for demos and posters. Demonstrations and Posters We invite researchers and developers to present their work in demonstrations or posters. Works in progress and results which don't warrant a full paper may be presented this way, as well as demonstrations of interesting applications. Demos and posters will be selected based on the broad applicability of new technologies and novelty of new approaches. Tables and power will be provided. Computers will not be provided; if you intend to do a demonstration, bring your own with all the software you need. There may be a slow Internet connection (at most a shared ISDN line); please let us know if Internet access is important to your demonstration. What is a poster? When presenting a poster, you typically bring one or more posters that can be tacked up to a wall. The posters should provide a concise summary of your work, and diagrams or other graphics are strongly encouraged. You then stand next to your poster and discuss your work with other conference attendees (who will undoubtedly ask why you're standing there). If you're feeling confident, you can provide handouts that explain your research or project in more detail, or tell where to find more information. Bring plenty of copies. So, what's a demo? A demo is a poster, but you use your computer to actually show people what you did. You can have a slide presentation or let people play with your applications. If you want to give a demonstration, be sure to bring your computer! What to Submit and How to Submit It To request space for a demonstration or poster, send an email to Fred Drake (fdrake@acm.org) describing your demonstration or poster. If you have special space or power requirements, please be sure to include the appropriate information. If you require Internet connectivity, be sure to tell us about that as well! For more information Questions regarding demo and poster submissions should be addressed to Fred Drake (fdrake@acm.org). -- ----------- comp.lang.python.announce (moderated) ---------- Article Submission Address: python-announce@python.org Python Language Home Page: http://www.python.org/ Python Quick Help Index: http://www.python.org/Help.html ------------------------------------------------------------
