Only 11 days until XML 2007 deadline

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

The deadline for proposals for XML 2007 is only 11 days away, on 31 August 2007.

Last year, we had a lot of good submissions come in late, and had to
turn most of them down for lack of space. You can read more
information about submissions at
http://2007.xmlconference.org/public/cfp/4 then enter your proposal in
the form at http://2007.xmlconference.org/user/proposal/new/4

Note: There is no late-breaking proposal deadline for 2007. This is
the only call for participation.

Stuff to think about:

- Our audiences are interested in all structural markup languages, not
just XML. Proposals for talks on JSON, SGML, etc. are very welcome.

- We have four tracks: Documents and Publishing, XML on the Web,
Enterprise XML, and XML training. It's OK if your paper fits in more
than one track — just pick the best one (we'll move it if necessary).

- In addition to regular speaking slots, we have lightning rounds
available for standards and spec groups on Tuesday evening. These are
open to the public free of charge, and are a great opportunity to
learn about a lot of XML-related standards and specs in a hurry.

- Instead of a tutorial day with an extra registration charge, we're
offering a training track on Wednesday afternoon that's open to all
registrants, with a mixture of short and long sessions; standards,
tech, and product training; etc.

- Boston in December is not usually very cold, but the Back Bay, where
our conference is held, is nothing if not cool.


Thanks, and all the best,
