Louis Armstrong and aKademy

[Adriaan de Groot]

Things have come to a pretty pass,
Our romance is growing flat,
For you like this and the other
While I go for this and that.
Goodness knows what the end will be;
Oh, I don't know where I'm at...
It looks as if we two will never be one,
Something must be done.

OK, Ella Fitzgerald as well. The aKademy 2007 call for papers has been open 
for a month or so (see http://akademy2007.kde.org/conference/cfp.php , 
submissions go through our Pentabarf setup at 
https://akademy2007.cis.strath.ac.uk/pentabarf/submission/ak2007 ). There are 
two days left in the submission period. We specifically put the submissions 
period fairly early in order to leave ample time for review, acceptance and 
to give authors the chance to get visas on time (if visas are needed).

So far there are four (4) submissions, none of which need visas for Scotland. 
That's relaxing, it means there's hardly any work to do in reviewing stuff. 
It's also kind of discouraging to think that there's not even a hint of 
enthusiasm for presenting things at this year's aKademy. Here's a list of 
speakers and topics I would *personally* like to see.

- Phonon. What is it and how to use it in apps. (M Kretz)
- Solid. What is it and how to use it in apps. (K Krammer)
- Decibel. What is it and how to use it in apps. (Hartmut?)
- Sonnet. What is it and how to use it in apps. (J Rideout)

Please, take the time (about 15 minutes) to register with the Pentabarf setup 
and then adding a talk for your subject.
