Who's going to CHI '88? That's the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, in Washington DC, from May 15th to the 19th. I submitted a proposal to have an informal NeWS special interest group meeting, which is now scheduled for Thursday, May 19, from 11:00 to 12:30, in the Cabinet room. If you're attending CHI '88, please show up if you'd like to find out about the Network extensible Window System and the X11/NeWS merged window system, or discuss what you're doing with NeWS! If you want to give a presentation, just let me know. (Send email to don@brillig.umd.edu, or call (301) 454-1517.) Topics: Writing NeWS applications; interfacing C to PostScript; NeWS as an interactive PostScript programming environment; object oriented programming in NeWS; PostScript development and debugging tools; prototyping experimental user interfaces in NeWS; extending the user interface toolkit in the server; pie menus under NeWS; Emacs NeWS support; handling input in the server with light weight NeWS processes; the pleasures of arbitrarily shaped windows; PostScript printer compatibility; neat window system hacks and other fun stuff.
