It seems that the north\u00adern hemi\u00adsphere spring is the reg\u00adu\u00adlar sea\u00adson for sub\u00admit\u00adting papers for two of my favour\u00adite con\u00adfer\u00adences. So I guess that means it\u2019s the reg\u00adu\u00adlar sea\u00adson for remind\u00ading y\u2019all, and being reminded of the dif\u00adfer\u00adent styles of conference.<\/p>\n
First up, because the dead\u00adline for abstracts is Monday March 14, is North\u00adern Voice, Van\u00adcouver\u00ad\u2019s per\u00adson\u00adal, non-work, con\u00adfer\u00adence aimed at help\u00ading people find their voice online, wheth\u00ader that be through blog\u00adging, twit\u00adter, face\u00adbook updates, or pho\u00adtos. I\u2019ve been on the organ\u00adising com\u00admit\u00adtee since the begin\u00adning of North\u00adern Voice, and have been con\u00adsist\u00adent in want\u00ading a con\u00adfer\u00adence that isn\u2019t cor\u00adpor\u00adate, does\u00adn\u2019t give spon\u00adsors key\u00adnote slots, isn\u2019t ori\u00adented towards busi\u00adness and mak\u00ading money. What North\u00adern Voice is ori\u00adented towards is what people find import\u00adant for their per\u00adson\u00adal lives, wheth\u00ader that be the per\u00aden\u00adni\u00adal ques\u00adtion of blog\u00adging under a real or an assumed name, or giv\u00ading advice on how to cope with too many emails (ok, that one could also be use\u00adful in busi\u00adness). More details at the web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n In con\u00adtrast there\u2019s Bal\u00adis\u00adage<\/a>, which is not at all about how to get good pho\u00adtos of your cat, but rather a ven\u00adue for deeply tech\u00adnic\u00adal talks about markup in all its forms. It still isn\u2019t cor\u00adpor\u00adate in the sense of selling key\u00adnote slots to big spon\u00adsors (you notice a trend here?) and its audi\u00adence is lim\u00adited to those who do enjoy intense dis\u00adcus\u00adsions of how best to struc\u00adture their inform\u00ada\u00adtion, and for whom the finer details of the XML<\/span> spe\u00adcific\u00ada\u00adtions are not insig\u00adni\u00adfic\u00adant. For this con\u00adfer\u00adence abstracts aren\u2019t enough, you need to write the full paper, in XML<\/span>, and sub\u00admit by April 8th. I review papers most years, and look for\u00adward to see\u00ading what\u2019s hap\u00adpen\u00ading in the bleed\u00ading edges of XML-related technologies. <\/p>\n Hmmm, it\u2019s prob\u00adably not a coin\u00adcid\u00adence that both of these con\u00adfer\u00adences are small, and run by people who care pas\u00adsion\u00adately about the con\u00adfer\u00adence and the respect\u00adive com\u00admunit\u00adies that they serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It seems that the north\u00adern hemi\u00adsphere spring is the reg\u00adu\u00adlar sea\u00adson for sub\u00admit\u00adting papers for two of my favour\u00adite con\u00adfer\u00adences.
