The SVG Open 2008 organizing committee is looking for contributors presenting a paper or teaching a course. Presenters are asked to submit an extended abstract in English with an approximate length of 400 to 800 words by April 18, 2008. The abstracts are reviewed by a reviewing committee and presenters will be informed about acceptance on or before May 15, 2008. If your abstract is accepted, you will be asked to submit your full paper by August 1, 2008, according to instructions that will be sent to you. Accepted abstracts, papers and presentations will be published on the conference hand-outs and web proceedings. Paper Abstracts can be submitted at http://www.svgopen.org/ until April 18. Following is a list of potential presentation topics:
* Mobile (handheld, in-car) Solutions * SVG Authoring Tools * Publishing and Printing with SVG * SVG Text and Internationalization * Accessibility of SVG * Location-based Services * Business Cases and Case Studies * Workflow for Creating and Using SVG * SVG and Digital Television * Graphic Design with SVG * SVG for Webmapping and Online GIS/GML * SVG for Multimedia Presentations * Server-side SVG Generators and Manipulators * SVG Authoring Techniques * Making Graphics Acessible * Interactivity and Scripting * GUI Frameworks for Web Applications * File Format Conversion * Case Studies
Course Instructors are asked to submit a course outline by April 18, 2008.

Accepted course instructors will receive a free conference pass and may participate at the come together event for free. Accepted course outlines will be published as course descriptions in the program. Therefore they should be directed at those who might register for the course rather than the reviewers. Courses are 150 minutes in length, scheduled for the morning and afternoon of August 29, 2008. We are interested in proposals for both beginner courses and advanced courses, to cater to the diverse interests of all conference attendees. Here is a list of topics of potential interest for courses. Feel free to either volunteer for one of these or propose your own topic.
* Introduction to SVG * SVG Authoring Techniques * Creating Mobile SVG content * UI Design * Using SVG Tools * CSS * XSLT * SMIL Animation * ECMAScript and the DOM * Graphic Design * SVG Filter Effects * Rendering Algorithms * Generating SVG from Database Content
Thank you for considering a paper or course abstract submission. Hope to see many of you in Nuremberg!
The SVG Open 2008 organizing committee.

Thanks, Andreas
Hey guys,
Is there anyone slightly local who might be up to making SVG Open and giving a talk or teaching a class? I'm going to see what I can do, but the more people we have getting involved the better. And as we saw at SCALE, with different people submitting proposals on different subjects, there's a better chance of at least something matching the need and being accepted.
Additionally, is there anyone who might be able to make it to man a booth? From things like SCALE and LugRadio Live I've seen how just having *anyone* there can be helpful. In fact, some times the booths manned by people who might not be core developers but who are users and just excited about the project can be some of the best.
Thanks, and I hope we get a few more people stepping up, despite the deadline being so close. :-)

Hello Inkscapers,
We are very interested to have Inkscape at the conference. However, we don't have a big budget for reimbursing traveling/hotel costs for many people. I am pretty sure there would be interesting discussions at the conference, since most of the people of the W3C SVG working group will be present at the conference. W3C will also open up the process for working on future SVG versions, which means that all interested persons/projects can participate no matter if they are paying W3C members or not. By opening up this process we hope to get projects like Inkscape or others more involved in the process.
We can offer free conference passes for the keynote speaker and course instructors and maybe I can come up with some funding for one or two persons for covering at least parts of the traveling/hotel costs.
Having a booth at the technical exhibition would be free for open source projects. I can also help out for the Inkscape booth for parts of the exhibition - however, not for the whole time. I am also an Inkscape user.
The deadline for abstracts is very close, but we can make a few exceptions if you are still working on proposals. Tell me how many extra days you need for working on abstracts/course proposals.
I am looking forward to contributions from the Inkscape community and to fruitful discussions at the conference.
Thanks, Andreas

G'day andreas,
You might want to talk to the many competent Inkscape user who work for Novell there in Nuremberg. Most Inkscape developers live outside of Europe.
