Call for Participation Reminder! - 44th Internationalization & Unicode Conference, Santa Clara, CA - October 14-16, 2020
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.

Yes, the time is tight, but I would encourage people to submit a proposal if you think you have an interesting story to tell. From many years submitting proposals, I have a piece of advice: the proposal asks for an abstract, but if time is too short to write a good abstract, then write a very simple outline or summary, and submit the proposal by the deadline. Then follow up with the improved abstract a week or two later, when you have it done. I am not on the program committee, so I can't promise anything, but I suspect they might willing to be flexible in order to get a good presentation.

UA Colleagues: In addition to those of you who are considering what topic to propose for the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference, I too am thinking about what I want to propose. I know this conference well, and I propose talks almost every year. I feel strongly that the Program Committee should have interesting proposals about Universal Acceptance, which keep the idea of UA and the news of what has been happening in front of this conference's attendees. I am considering proposing a talk on the news what has happened in Universal Acceptance in 2019-2020, and a description of what the difficult obstacles are. Obstacles could be technical, or policy, or business issues. * What would you say are the most interesting and important successes in Universal Acceptance in 2019? * What successes can we forecast for 2020? (The conference is in October 2020, and obviously the actual presentation will be adjusted based on what actually happens.) * What measurable process can we report on Universal Acceptance? e.g. o number of internationalised domain names (IDNs) registered, o traffic to web sites with IDNs, o number of vendors supporting email address internationalisation (EAI), o number of emails being sent from or to internationalised email addresses? * What are the obstacles that Universal Acceptance faces? What is required to overcome those obstacles? * What should this conference audience know about UA, which they might not be aware of? Is this material already contained in presentations or reports which I could study and repurpose? Bear in mind that this audience has in-depth knowledge about internationalisation, and Unicode. The audience includes the experts who designed many of the software architectures for internationalisation, IDN, and EAI. They are in favour of internationalisation of all kinds. Thus we don't need content which explains basic UA, or tries to persuade them that UA is desireable — they are persuaded. Also, if someone else plans to propose a topic like this, please get in touch with me. I do not want to get in your way. And, you may be a better messenger for this material than I am. (In any case, I have some other proposals apart from a "Report on UA".)

UA Colleagues: I have heard back from the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference that this proposal, for a session on the news in UA in 2019-2020, was not quite accepted. It was put on a waitlist. If another speaker cancels, they will call on me to do this session. They think it is likely they will call on me. Thus, I am still interested in suggestions about what are the top news stories for Universal Acceptance in 2019 and 2020. See below for the kind of material I'm looking for. My deadline is to have a draft presentation in early September, so I would like suggestions between now and early August. The conference is in October 14-16, 2020. Of course, in the few weeks between when I submitted my proposal and when they accepted, the COVID-19 pandemic has turned all decisions about face-to-face conferences like this upside-down. I have no idea whether the conference will go ahead in person, or switch to video, or be cancelled. I will proceed to write the content anyway. It will surely be useful for someone. Thank you in advance for your suggestions. Best regards, —Jim DeLaHunt, software engineer, Vancouver, Canada On 2020-03-04 23:48, Jim DeLaHunt wrote:

The audience includes the experts who designed many of the software architectures for internationalisation, IDN, and EAI. They are in favour of internationalisation of all kinds. Thus we don't need content which explains basic UA, or tries to persuade them that UA is desireable — they are persuaded.
Also, if someone else plans to propose a topic like this, please get in touch with me. I do not want to get in your way. And, you may be a better messenger for this material than I am. (In any case, I have some other proposals apart from a "Report on UA".)

Hi Jim, I checked out the last year's program - do you know where one can find the talks/conference publications online? Best of luck to those who submitted a talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKwaomsXnwc :) Many thanks, Thomas On 4.3.2020 4.10, 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

Thomas: There are links to the conference program and presenter biographies for the Internationalisation and Unicode conference 2006–2019 at <https://www.unicodeconference.org/past-conferences.htm>. They don't like to slide decks there, but (for recent years at least) if you search on presentation titles, your search engine might turn up useful results ;-). The video you linked to appears to be from IUC33 in 2009. The recent conference look much the same, actually. Same number of people, same kinds of presentations, many of the same actual people. However, we are now in 720p or 1024p resolution these days, instead of that old 360p. BTW I just got an announcement that the deadline for proposals is extended to this Friday, 13. March. More time to submit something! Best regards, —Jim DeLaHunt, software engineer, Vancouver, Canada On 2020-03-10 06:50, Dina Solveig Jalkanen wrote:

UA Colleagues: In addition to those of you who are considering what topic to propose for the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference, I too am thinking about what I want to propose. I know this conference well, and I propose talks almost every year. I feel strongly that the Program Committee should have interesting proposals about Universal Acceptance, which keep the idea of UA and the news of what has been happening in front of this conference's attendees. I am considering proposing a talk on the news what has happened in Universal Acceptance in 2020-2021, and a description of what the difficult obstacles are. Obstacles could be technical, or policy, or business issues. * What would you say are the most interesting and important successes in Universal Acceptance in 2020? * What successes can we forecast for 2021? (The conference is in October 2021, and obviously the actual presentation will be adjusted based on what actually happens.) * What measurable process can we report on Universal Acceptance? e.g. o number of internationalised domain names (IDNs) registered, o traffic to web sites with IDNs, o number of vendors supporting email address internationalisation (EAI), o number of emails being sent from or to internationalised email addresses? * What are the obstacles that Universal Acceptance faces? What is required to overcome those obstacles? * What should this conference audience know about UA, which they might not be aware of? Is this material already contained in presentations or reports which I could study and repurpose? Bear in mind that this audience has in-depth knowledge about internationalisation, and Unicode. The audience includes the experts who designed many of the software architectures for internationalisation, IDN, and EAI. They are in favour of internationalisation of all kinds. Thus we don't need content which explains basic UA, or tries to persuade them that UA is desireable — they are persuaded. Also, if someone else plans to propose a topic like this, please get in touch with me. I do not want to get in your way. And, you may be a better messenger for this material than I am. (In any case, I have some other proposals apart from a "Report on UA".) For instance, last year I presented a tutorial which was an introduction to UA, and I plan to propose that tutorial again this year. Best regards, —Jim DeLaHunt, software engineer, Vancouver, Canada
