<h1>Boost Conference 2007:
|
||
Call for Session Proposals</h1>
|
||
<p>The first annual Boost conference will take place in Aspen, Colorado, May
|
||
14-18. This promises to be the main face-to-face event for all things Boost,
|
||
from generic-programming techniques to Boost community, from using Boost
|
||
libraries to writing Boost libraries, from deployment considerations to
|
||
promoting the use of Boost more widely, from TR1 to TR2. Given the range and
|
||
interests of the participants, this event promises to be intense and in
|
||
depth. We invite you to propose a session. </p>
|
||

<h2>Session <a name="formats">formats</a></h2>
|
||
<p><strong>Presentations</strong> focus on a practitioner’s ideas and
|
||
experience with anything relevant to Boost and Boost users. </p>
|
||
<p><strong>Panels</strong> feature three or four people presenting their
|
||
ideas and experiences relating to Boost relevant, controversial, emerging,
|
||
or unresolved issues. Panels may be conducted in several ways, such as
|
||
comparative, analytic, or historic. </p>
|
||
<p><strong>Tutorials</strong> are formally prepared sessions at which
|
||
instructors teach conference participants specific Boost relevant skills.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Workshops</strong> provide an active arena for advancements in
|
||
Boost relevant topics. Workshops provide the opportunity for experienced
|
||
practitioners to develop new ideas about a topic of common interest and
|
||
experience. </p>
|
||
<p><strong>Other formats</strong> may also be of interest. Don't hold back a
|
||
proposal just because it doesn't fit in a pigeonhole. </p>
|
||
<h2>Session <a name="topics">topics</a></h2>

<p>Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following: </p>

participation that has proven most successful at such events. Sessions can

|
||
<p>Like Boost itself,
|
||
BoostCon is strictly non-profit. Conference organizers and presenters
|
||
are not paid for their time. Any surplus money will be rolled over into the
|
||
succeeding year
|
||
BoostCon budget. </p>
|
||
<p>To reduce the price for attendees this first year, conference organizers
|
||
and presenters will pay the regular admission fee and will receive no
|
||
compensation. We recognize this is tough for presenters on tight budgets, so
|
||
will consider providing financial support if requested, based on budget and
|
||
the applicant's needs.</p>
