BlogTalks 2.0 というWeblogに関する国際会議が2004年にヨーロッパで開かれた。
次の会議は『BlogTalk Reloaded』で、2006年10月2日-3日と、ウィーンで開催されることが決まっている。この会議、日本から誰かが参加しているのだろうか。表示言語がドイツ語と英語になっている。
BlogTalks 2.0のときの会議の議事録を書いているThomas N. Burgのブログをみると、欧州における傾向がわかって面白い。リンク先を辿るのも勉強になる。
現在、会議の発表内容を募集している。500ワード以下の要約をつけて2006年4月1日までに提出することが条件だ。
We invite you to submit a proposal for presentation at the conference. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- form and consequences of emerging social software practices
- social software in an enterprise/educational environment
- political impact of social software
- applications, protoypes, concepts, standards
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the conference, audiences will come from different fields of practice and will have different professional backgrounds. We strongly encourage proposals to bridge these cultural differences and be understandable for all groups alike.
Along those lines we will offer 3 different tracks.
1 academic
2 developer
3 cases/practitioner reports
For developers, the conference is a great opportunity to fly ideas and prototypes in front of a distinguished audience of peers, to discuss, to link-up and to learn.
Please send your submission along with some personal info - as a plain email text (no html our automatic processing will not accept html-mails or attachments) - to call[at]blogtalk[dot]net. You will receive a confirmation of our receiving your submission within 3 working days.
