I wanted to wait for a little bit until there were enough people signed up on this to make it worthwhile. This is a likely temporary home for this group,...
Hi, Kurt- It was great to see you at SVG Open 2005, and I appreciate your taking on the task of running SVG Open 2006. As I wrote to you privately, I have some...
Hi Kurt, ... In my opinion, I don't think it's good, in any way, to talk up technologies such as XAML or <canvas/> that have absolutely not addressed in their...
Hi Antoine, While Kurt and I are good friends, to many of you in the SVG world I am a complete stranger. So I don't want to come into things mid-way and...
Hi, David- Nice to meet you. I think that Antoine is understandably cautious about anything that might allow MS to subvert mindshare from SVG to XAML and...
Hi Doug, Excellent point. I couldn't agree more. As long as the recognition that XAML exists and that a need exists to help those who are either: - looking...
Trying to figure out where to put XAML has long been one of the more challenging parts of this puzzle - I tend, like Antoine, to be leery about necessarily...
Hey Kurt, Excellent follow-up. Again, I realize I need to keep my SVG newbie hat on, especially when it comes to the already well established SVG community...
Hi All, I think broadening the scope is good. Maybe use a slogan to show that off, let me try: "SVG Open 2006: the big picture of the modern web", sometimes...
Greetings M. David Peterson, Antoine, Ruud, Doug, Kurt and all I agree with all stated positions, concerns:) a very fine line. It just seems good to me to...
Hi all, In case any of you have some questions for the 2005 team, now would be a good time, cause we're having our concluding meeting a week and some hours...
Hello, First congratulations for bringing the SVG Open 2006 conference to Beautiful British Columbia. I will try my best to help out. I'm currently a...
Some food for thought on WHEN?: What dates are the options? What are the pros/cons? What tech/design/geo/mobile/art/etc events are there to (not) interfere...
Currently, I am eyeing sometime in August, though the precise time will be nailed down as soon as I get together with UVic, probably early next week. My...
good topic. I think we should begin a list of important conferences where we should not overlap the date. From my point of view the following conferences are...
You don't want people to conclude that SVG (Open) is dead from a 404, and believe me some will. Something like: <h1>SVG Open 2006</h1> <p> The 5th edition of...
good idea, thanks. I put that text on http://www.svgopen.org/2006/ - Kurt you can update that text later as you like. Andreas ... -- ... Andreas Neumann -...
Hi- The date for the conference is very important. But it might be good to have an early RFP so people can start thinking about their topics and we will have a...
Hi, Usually you define "topics" in the "call for papers" and plan the tracks/sessions after you receive the extended abstracts. If one has only one or two...
Andreas, I've been in contact with Mark Peterson (one of the other subscribers to this group) who has been working on a Wiki as well for this group so that we...
All, My apologies for not sending this link before now. Per a conversation I had with Kurt I set up a wiki at: http://svgopen2006.understandingsvg.com/wiki/ I...
... as well as the link following it should have been deleted. I realized after I wrote it that I should close the access off but for some reason didn't...
cool - so I don't begin setting up a Wiki. I did not know that this was already done. Kurt or Mark, can you send the subscribers of this list a login and...
some additions - comments/questions: but we could also wait until we all have a wiki-login. Such content is best edited in a Wiki ... SVG Design Workflow and...
Hi Andreas (and everyone else), I'm not sure if you or the rest of the folks are experiencing problems with getting emails but I haven't received either of...
Hi- I appreciate all the work that went into setting up the wiki. I'd like to start contributing to it as soon as possible, since organizing SVG Open is likely...
Hi Doug, I'm not sure why the message never seemed to show up in my inbox; and it seems that, based on your comments, it didn't arrive in yours either....
Just noticed that its not very obvious how to go about registering with the Wiki engine located at http://svgopen.understandingsvg.com/2006/wiki/ From the main...
