The submission deadline for the KISS workshops at OOPSLA
(http://www.industrialized-software.org/kiss-oopsla-2009) and ASE
(http://www.industrialized-software.org/kiss-ase-2009) has been extended to 31
Aug.

If you are working on a submission for the SoSyM issue (see below), consider
sending in a draft to the OOPSLA or ASE workshop.
