CALL FOR PARTICIPATION in the 4TH ANNUAL X TECHNICAL CONFERENCE The 4th annual Technical Conference on the X Window System will be held on January 15-17, 1990 at the Marriott Copley Place Hotel in Boston, MA. The conference, sponsored by the MIT X Consortium, will bring together experts from industry and academia to present and discuss leading edge research and development in the X environment. This is an ideal opportunity to learn about the very latest X technology, and to talk individually with a variety of developers. As with last year, there will be tutorials on the first day. If you are interested in giving a tutorial, please contact us. We are particularly interested in topics which have not been given before, or which have had only limited attendance. Tutorials on commerical products are allowed, although we reserve the right to have the material "(un)slanted" appropriately for the conference. The second two days will be devoted to talks, in a single track. Presentations can be anywhere from 5 to 50 minutes, and video tape is welcome. Written papers are welcome, but not required; but, we would like to reproduce any slides and written materials in advance for distribution at the conference. There is no set "theme" for the conference; we are interested in submissions covering all aspects of X. Presentations on both research and commercial developments are welcome. On all three days, there will be "Birds of a Feather" sessions for general discussion of areas of specific interest to the attendees. If there are particular BOFs you would like to see or run, please let us know. As usual, there will no "trade show" attached to this conference. If you would like to give a tutorial, make a presentation, or run a BOF, send details to: xconference@expo.lcs.mit.edu or Bob Scheifler Laboratory for Computer Science 545 Technology Square Cambridge, MA 02139 Network mail is preferred. Please include your name, net and postal address, phone number, affiliation, a reasonably detailed outline of what you want to present, what your relationship is to the work (e.g. project manager, principal designer, lead engineer, me-myself-and-I), how much time you need, and what A/V facilities you need. The deadline for submissions is November 17; receipt will be acknowledged. However, we will not wait for this deadline before making decisions on tutorials, so the earlier you get your tutorial proposal in, the better your chances are. If you are interested in serving (electronically) on the program committee for this conference, please send mail by September 22 to: xconference@expo.lcs.mit.edu Due to the costs of holding the conference off campus (we've outgrown MIT's facilities), there will be a registration fee of $50, covering the entire conference (this is not to make a profit, but to keep the X Consortium subsidy within reason). Exceptions will be made for students who cannot afford the fee. Since there will be a fee this year, registration will not be handled by electronic mail. Please do *not* send inquiries about registration yet; we'll send out registration and hotel information a little later. However, if you believe your network mail is unreliable and are concerned that you might not see later announcements in this forum, you can be placed on a mailing list to receive information by post by writing to: X Technical Conference c/o MIT Conference Services Room 7-111 77 Massachusetts Ave Cambridge, MA 02139
