[sc34wg3] Markup, Montreal, August 12-15, 2008

[Patrick Durusau]

Greetings!

Please take note of the Balisage conference to be held August 12-15 in 
Montreal, Canada. Briefly described by its organizers as:

"Balisage is a peer-reviewed conference designed to meet the needs of 
markup theoreticians and practitioners who are pushing the boundaries of 
the field. It’s all about the markup — how to create it; what it means; 
hierarchies and overlap; modeling; taxonomies; transformation; query, 
searching, and retrieval; presentation and accessibility; making systems 
that make markup dance (or dance faster to a different tune in a smaller 
space) — in short, changing the world and the web through the power of 
marked-up information."

For further details:

If you are interested in markup and want to hear some ideas that will be 
*hot* next year (as well as some that won't be) then be sure to attend 
the Balisage conference.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
