ANN: XML Scholarship open for submissions

["David Megginson" <david.megginson@gmail.com>]

The IDEAlliance XML Scholarship is now open for submissions until
Monday 30 October 2006. The winner — a student enrolled in any degree
or diploma program at a post-secondary institution — will receive a
prize of US $1,000, a US $500 travel stipend, two nights'
accommodation, and a chance to present her or his paper in front of
industry leaders at the XML 2006 conference in Boston from 5-7
December 2006.

Judges for the scholarship include Dr. Mary Fernández (AT&T), Dr.
Michael Sperberg-McQueen (W3C and University of Bergen), and Dr. Henry
Thompson (W3C and University of Edinburgh).

I'd be grateful if people could spread the word to anyone they know
who is a student or who teaches students who might be interested in
participating.
