Announcing the 13th Annual Tcl/Tk Conference

October 9-13, 2006
Naperville, Illinois USA

Learn from the experts, share your experience - the annual Tcl/Tk
conference is your opportunity to engage with the Tcl/Tk core team and
your fellow peers.

The conference program will include:
  * Presentations and tutorials
  * The (Active)State of Tcl talk by Tcl/Tk release manager Jeff Hobbs
  * Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions
  * Invited key-note talks
  * Discussion forums with the Tcl/Tk core team

Call For Papers

You are invited and indeed encouraged to submit proposals for
presentations and tutorials. The conference schedule will consist of two
days of tutorials (Monday - Tuesday) and 3 days for the main
conference (Wednesday - Friday).

The conference provides you an opportunity to report on original
research and applications of Tcl/Tk and related technology. The
audience will consist of practitioners and researchers who are
intermediate or experienced users of Tcl/Tk.  For this reason, reports
on experiences and applications should draw out lessons for other
Tcl/Tk developers.

Topics will include, but are not limited to:

  * Application of Tcl/Tk in industries as diverse as engineering,
      industrial controls, broadcasting, financial services,
      medical and electronic design
  * Networking with Tcl/Tk, including distributed applications and network
      management
  * New widgets and techniques for GUI design with Tk
  * Simulation and application steering with Tcl/Tk
  * Tcl/Tk on handheld and embedded devices
  * New Tcl extensions and add-ons, including Tcllib and Tklib
  * Tcl/Tk centric operating environments

Submission Guidelines

If you are interested in submitting a paper you should send an
abstract of about 100 words and a summary of maximum two pages. Omit
extraneous or redundant information. Length is not a direct factor in
judging the quality of the submission.

If submitting a tutorial proposal you should send an outline of the
tutorial and a brief biography, and clearly indicate whether the
tutorial is of half-day or full-day duration.

Send submissions as plain text to <tc...@tc...> no later than May
31, 2006.

The primary author for each accepted paper will receive registration
to the Technical Sessions portion of the conference at a reduced rate.

The program committee will review and evaluate papers according to
the following criteria:
  * Quantity and quality of novel content
  * Relevance and interest to the Tcl/Tk community
  * Suitability of content for presentation at the conference

Proposals may report on commercial or non-commercial systems, but
those with only blatant marketing content will not be accepted.

Application and experience papers need to strike a balance between
background on the application domain and the relevance of Tcl/Tk to
the application.  Application and experience papers should clearly
explain how the application or experience illustrates a novel use of
Tcl/Tk, and what lessons the Tcl/Tk community can derive from the
application or experience to apply to their own development efforts.

Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreement forms will be returned
to the author(s) unread.  All submissions are held in the highest
confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings, both as a
matter of policy and in accord with the U. S. Copyright Act of 1976.

Registration Information

More information on the conference will be available in Spring 2006 at
the conference web site (http://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2006/) and
published on various Tcl/Tk related information channels.

To whom it may concern:

A new version of Sakura has been released. This is a happy thing, as
very little has been done on Sakura in quite a while. The last release
was, I believe, in September, and we haven't done much active
development since mid october. I hope to change this, and bring back
the project this used to be. It is partially my fault for the major
delay; I had some personal issues that were distracting me from my
work. I hope you will all check out this release, and help out by
reporting bugs, supporting other users, using the software, and
spreading the word. Some of you might be able to help in other ways,
like testing and debugging on our brand new addition to libsakura,
Cognus. Others of you may want to write docs, or modules, or little
apps. Some may even want to write Cognus sites, once we get the
documentation up on how it works. It's up to you. But please, forgive
us for the long delay, and continue your support.

Hello, world:

I am pleased to announce that Pak version 0.02 has just been released. Pak
has been thoroughly debugged and tested for this new version, now capable o=
f
pakking from dictionary files and dumping unpakked data either to the
console or a file. Finally, the whole thing works. Also, it now excludes th=
e
original except clause, so that it will use python's own error handling
system to describe the error (instead of the previous and sundry "unknown
error" messages).
I believe that this version is ready for real use, and so I wish to get as
many coders as possible to start creating applications and media for this
format.

Hello world,

Sakura version 0.03 has just been released. It may seem like a quick
release, but it's a major step up in usability. In fact, I am now
using it as the sole user interface on my main development machine.

New features include a "Tcl console", a working maintainence menu, and
a totally working HoloUI.

To whom it may concern:

I am happy to announce that sakura version 0.02 has finally been
released. This is one of the most anticipated (by me at least)
versions of sakura thus far. Also, it meets all my short-term goals
and more.

To whom it may concern:

Version 0.01 of the Pak HyperMedia Container Format/Library has been
released. This is the first version of said library, which will be
adapted into the backend of the Fordice knowledge manager.
Pak is a format for archiving hyperlinks in files without file
datatype dependency. To do this, it links to byte slices in the data.
For code and documentation, check the Sakura HyperMedia Desktop
Project website, at http://sakura-os.sf.net .

To whom it may concern:
Yes, it's true. I finally released a new version of Sakura. Of course,
it's far from bug free, but the bugs are centered in the HoloUI
portion, which I hereby declare alpha code. That aside, it's got a lot
of new features, and the holoui at least now works somewhat.
Don't wait until I release the next version to update! It may be a
long time, and you'll be missing the new features. Plus, you won't be
up to date on bug reports and feature requests.

Submission of Summaries

Tcl/Tk 2005 will be held in Portland, Oregon USA from October 24 -
October 28. The program committee asks all people using and developing
with Tcl/Tk and extensions to submit papers and proposals for
presentations at this conference. Past conferences have seen
submissions covering a wide variety of topics including and not
limited to:

    * Scientific and engineering applications
    * Industrial controls
    * Distributed applications and Network Managment
    * Object oriented extensions to Tcl/Tk
    * New widgets for Tk
    * Simulation and application steering with Tcl/Tk
    * Tcl/Tk-Centric operating environments
    * Tcl/Tk on small and embedded devices
    * Medical applications and visualization
    * Use of different programming paradigms in Tcl/Tk and proposals
      for new directions.
    * New areas of exploration for the Tcl/Tk language 

The submissions should consist of an abstract of about 100 words and a
summary of maximum two pages. Omit extraneous or redundant
information. Length is not a direct factor in judging the quality of
the submission.

Send submissions as plain text to <tcl2005 AT tcl.tk> no later than
July 1, 2005. Authors of accepted abstracts will have until September
15, 2005 to submit their final paper for the inclusion in the
conference proceedings. The proceedings will be made available on
CD-ROM, so extra materials like code samples are welcome.

The authors will have 20-25 minutes to present the paper at the
conference.

The program committee will review and evaluate papers according to the
following criteria:

    * Quantity and quality of novel content
    * Relevance and interest to the Tcl/Tk community
    * Suitability of content for presentation at the conference 

Proposals may report on commercial or non-commercial systems, but
those with only blatant marketing content will not be accepted.

Application and experience papers need to strike a balance between
background on the application domain and the relevance of Tcl/Tk to
the application. Application and experience papers should clearly
explain how the application or experience illustrates a novel use of
Tcl/Tk, and what lessons the Tcl/Tk community can derive from the
application or experience to apply to their own development efforts.

Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreement forms will be returned
to the author(s) unread. All submissions are held in the highest
confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings, both as a
matter of policy and in accord with the U. S. Copyright Act of 1976.

The primary author for each accepted paper will receive registration
to the Technical Sessions portion of the conference at a reduced rate.

Other Forms of Participation

The program committee also welcomes proposals for panel discussions of
up to 90 minutes. Proposals should include a list of confirmed
panelists, a title and format, and a panel description with position
statements from each panelist. Panels should have no more than four
speakers, including the panel moderator, and should allow time for
substantial interaction with attendees. Panels are not presentations
of related research papers.

Slots for Works-in-Progress (WIP) presentations and Birds-of-a-Feather
sessions (BOFs) are available on a first-come, first-served basis
starting in August, 2005. Specific instructions for reserving WIP and
BOF time slots will be provided in the registration information
available in June 2005.  Some WIP and BOF time slots will be held open
for on-site reservation, so we encourage all attendees with
interesting work in progress to consider presenting that work at the
conference.  Registration Information

More information on the conference will be available in April 2005 at
the conference Web site and published on various Tcl/Tk-related
information channels.
