Tcl/Tk 2005 First Call for papers.
===================================
Tcl/Tk 2005 will be held in Portland, Oregon USA in late October or
early November. The program committee asks all people using and
developing with Tcl/Tk and extensions to submit papers and proposals
for presentations at this conference.
Past conferences have seen submissions covering a wide variety of
topics including and not limited to:
* Scientific and engineering applications
* Industrial controls
* …
[View More]Distributed applications and Network Managment
* Object oriented extensions to Tcl/Tk
* New widgets for Tk
* Simulation and application steering with Tcl/Tk
* Tcl/Tk-Centric operating environments
* Tcl/Tk on small and embedded devices
* Medical applications and visualization
At this point we are requesting submissions of:
* Abstracts of papers for oral presentation.
* Proposals for short courses to be taught the day prior to the
conference.
* Proposals for other presentations/discussions.
* Proposals to present tutorial sessions.
Please send abstracts and proposals to tcl2005 (at) nscl (dot)
msu (dot) edu
Important target dates:
=======================
July 1, 2005 - Abstracts and proposals due.
July 31, 2005 - Notification to authors.
Sep 15, 2005 - Author materials due.
The submissions should consist of an abstract of about 100 words and a
summary of maximum two pages. Omit extraneous or redundant
information. Length is not a direct factor in judging the quality of
the submission.
The authors of oral presentations will have 20-25 minutes to present
the paper at the conference.
The program committee will review and evaluate papers according to the
following criteria:
* Quantity and quality of novel content
* Relevance and interest to the Tcl/Tk community
* Suitability of content for presentation at the conference
Proposals may report on commercial or non-commercial systems, but
those with only blatant marketing content will not be accepted.
Application and experience papers need to strike a balance between
background on the application domain and the relevance of Tcl/Tk to
the application. Application and experience papers should clearly
explain how the application or experience illustrates a novel use of
Tcl/Tk, and what lessons the Tcl/Tk community can derive from the
application or experience to apply to their own development efforts.
Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreement forms will be returned
to the author(s) unread. All submissions are held in the highest
confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings, both as a
matter of policy and in accord with the U. S. Copyright Act of 1976.
The primary author for each accepted paper will receive registration
to the Technical Sessions portion of the conference at a reduced rate.
The program committee also welcomes proposals for panel discussions of
up to 90 minutes. Proposals should include a list of confirmed
panelists, a title and format, and a panel description with position
statements from each panelist. Panels should have no more than four
speakers, including the panel moderator, and should allow time for
substantial interaction with attendees. Panels are not presentations
of related research papers.

Hallo,
this game collection (for Windows, but works with wine, too) has lots
of nice ideas for possible pmpd-projects or -games:

hi again,
[im moving this to pd-ot since it is really nothing pd related]
now that i had a really good laugh, some clarification may be due :
[...]

first, the combination of java/swing is just the worst you can choose for a
responsive gui, not to talk about something suitable for realtime use.
next, ftm is just a re-implementation of jmax, basically. yes, i know, some
would object …
[View More]to this, but how would read this :
"FTM is based on the FTS server of the jMax project ....", given the fact that
the "server" was just all about jmax but the gui, which was the "client" ?
last but not least some words on the general pitfalls with ircam open source :
jmax was open sourced by ircam. they miserably failed the open source idea
somehow. mayinly, because they (yes, as a whole, and not a single person) can
not communicate.
when the jmax list closed, i was upset. yea, i was. not mainly for myself.
did you read any "thanks for you interrest" or "thanks for your contributions"
or the like spoken to the public ? i mean, really, there where people who
used jmax, who relied on the proposals of an forthcomming of the software.
how would it feel to you if you start a project with a given software, just
to figure out you have to start at almost 0 with the next update ?
what about users reporting errors, that are propsed to get fixed. but then,
some _completely_ different comes out....
and now, that many of this things gone down as ftm, without a "thanks" to
anyone involved, would you really contribute to it ?
oh, and remember: for whatever reason i dont know, the main force behind jmax,
f. dechelle, is gone. now, his work is going to be trashed as a plugin to a
software that is _closed_ and _pricey_. how do you expect to attract
open-source developers to work on a platform they have to spent a lot of
money beforehand, and is completely against their open-source idea ?
and for that, it doesnt matter any if ftm itself is open source or not.
better not, so they can not fool another bunch of people .....
