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 at 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.
