Hi all, as far as I can tell the last message on this list dates back from over a month ago. The last update to the site was almost two months ago. The...

... We were approached recently about sponsoring (we haven't made a final decision apparently, but I am hoping that we will shortly, and that it will be yes)....

Let me post the comment I wrote to Robin earlier (extended somewhat): I'm working today on the updates, including the announcement of a keynote speaker (many...
As Kurt says, I am strongly in favor of holding an SVGOpen, even if it is smaller than we would like. SVG TIny should be well on its way to Rec by that point,...
I would prefer not to cancel the conference if possible. But I can certainly see the need to act now to save it from failing. I think the most urgent tasks are...
... Ditto. We're on for sponsoring, and we don't really want to be all alone. Since there either is or isn't a conference, it seems better if there is and a...

Just to add in a positive light, no matter how many attendees, we could certainly look forward to making available Conference material/proceedings "live"...
To all - I'm working today on getting new materials up, hopefully to address some of these points on the SVG site itself. We are actually getting quite a ...
Hi, Kurt- Thanks for the update. Please keep us frequently posted, and let us know what we need to do. I am waiting on some materials, myself, so I can help ...
A long time ago it was mentioned that vendor participation was wanted for this year's conference. So far on the website I don't see how vendors can...

Tim, I'm open to suggestions. I've been thinking about having both a vendor and an open source track for presentations by the various groups, but want to ...
... At this stage it seems that invites is the way to go... (I guess sponsoring doesn't hurt, either :) Anyway, I agree that we should be getting the...

Okay, given that - who to invite? This comes back to the issue of invited panelists (as opposed to paper presenters) - who would be good candidates (names, not...
Kurt, thanks for putting some news online. Tim: Yes, having a open source and/or vendor track would be useful. The following projects/companies come to my...
... There were a number of presentations last year that focused on a particular implementation, and most of them were well received as far as I saw. I think...

Hi Kurt, I would like to ask how the status of abstracts, papers and the reviewing process is. There was confusion whether one has to provide an abstract or...
Did we come to a conclusion regarding presentation slot lengths? I read somewhere on the webpage that sessions will be of 50 minutes length. Does this mean...
Andreas, We've received currently around thirty abstracts to date. I will be putting the call out to the SVG Open board on Wednesday for judges, and plan on ...
Sounds good to me. Thanks also for clarifying the presentation lengths. Maybe it could be made clearer on the webpage as well. Just adding a sentence that the ...
I think it is time to start the reviewing. We need a team of reviewers and we should start *IMMEDIATELY* after the August 1st deadline. We cannot afford to let...
Kurt, did you ask the company Trolltech if they are interested in being a sponsor or presenting their SVG capabilities. It seems that their library already...
Hi Kurt! I'd like to see a new schedule about the conference. You promised people to notify them prior to August 15. People are already very frustrated (see ...
Hi folks. I understand being asked to have patience. I understand that people are frustrated. I was asked to put up sponsorship money and got it. I am now ...

Hi Charles, yes, people are reading this mailinglist. I am not informed what is already organized. I just recently got an email from Kurt that his wife is...
Hi- I also convinced my company to sponsor, but because of the lack of visible progress, our PR Manager is having strong second thoughts. I don't know if I...
As I've seen my name batted around a few times I thought I would pipe up. Here are my thoughts on the matter. 1. If the conference is to be held in the...
Hello, Since we haven't found a suitable local organizer to take over this year's conference, it it necessary to immediately call off the conference. Most...
Hi Andreas, I am more than willing to take the torch for the next incarnation of the SVG Open. The following are the three time periods that will work if we...
