UA Colleagues: The deadline to submit a proposal to this conference has been extended by a week. The deadline is now Friday, 13 March 2020. The rest of the information is unchanged. I have submitted two proposals related to Universal Acceptance (and one unrelated proposal). I hope others who were considering proposals will take advantage of this extra week. I would like for the program committee to have lots of good proposals to choose from. Best regards, —Jim DeLaHunt, Vancouver, Canada On 2020-03-03 18:10, Jim DeLaHunt wrote:
Hello, UA Colleagues:
I want to be sure this group sees the call for participation for the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference, which takes place this October 14-16, 2020, in Santa Clara, California, USA. Do you want to propose a talk? If so, the deadline is this Friday, March 6, in the UTC-8 timezone.
Many of you know the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference. For those who don't, it is a gathering of those who define The Unicode Standard for text, as well as architects of fonts, text rendering, and beyond that into software engineering aspects of internationalisation and localisation. About 100% of the audience are solidly in favour of the values and goals of Universal Acceptance. However, much fewer than 100% know what the Universal Acceptance Group does, and what the current successes and obstacles are. I think Universal Acceptance should not be absent from this conference.
If anyone has questions about this conference, I have been attending for many years, and I would be happy to answer them. Others on this list are probably even more expert than I am.
Best regards, —Jim DeLaHunt, Vancouver, Canada
