Hi all,

Just a reminder that there's not too long to go now before the XTech
call for participation closes (Jan 9th).  I include the CFP below as a
reference.

Thanks!

                    XTECH 2006 -- CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
                   16-19 May 2006, Amsterdam, Netherlands

                http://www.xtech-conference.org/2006/call.asp

                             "Building Web 2.0"

   XTech 2006 will take place from 16-19 May in the heart of Amsterdam,
   at the Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky, Dam Square.

   The theme for 2006, "Building Web 2.0", recognises the key place of
   standards-based and open technology in enabling the next generation 
   of web applications. Practitioners and leaders from all disciplines
   are invited to participate in presenting and discussing the
   technology and design issues behind the changing web.

   Building on the success of last year's conference, this year's tracks
   include:

     * Applications: "mashups", frameworks, publishing, open source
       solutions, aggregation
     * Browser Technology: browsers, AJAX, design and interaction
       implications
     * Core Technologies: the XML and RDF family, RSS/Atom,
       databases, nuts-and-bolts tech
     * Open Data: information design, identity, tagging, privacy,
       trust, Creative Commons, DRM, government

   Subject matter is given as a guide, but is by no means exclusive! 

   Read more information in the Track Descriptions at
   http://www.xtech-conference.org/2006/tracks.asp

   There are several ways you can participate. Follow the links for more
   detail.

     * Presentations: 40 minute talks, to be accompanied by a short
       paper (1,000+ words) submitted before the conference. Talks are
       chosen by peer review of abstracts.
     * Tutorials: 3 or 6 hour sessions. Suitable for more established
       topics than presentations, to aim for mass appeal.
     * Panel Discussions: new this year, we want to incorporate
       discussion sessions into each track, with feedback given to the
       conference. You should nominate a chair (can be yourself) and 
       have some idea of panelists to give short position statements.
     * Related Events and BOFs: there is room available to co-locate
       your event with XTech. We'll also have BOF tables over lunch, and
       signup boards for evening sessions.

   There will also be Product Presentations, from vendors or open source
   projects, and a few "late breaking" slots reserved for hot and
   developing topics. Separate calls for participation will be made for
   these.
