The 6th annual Technical Conference on the X Window System will be held on
January 13-15, 1992 at the Marriott Copley Place Hotel in Boston, MA. The
conference is sponsored by the MIT X Consortium. There is no set theme for
the conference; we are interested in submissions covering all aspects of X.
Presentations on both research and commercial developments are encouraged.
The first day of the conference will be devoted to tutorials. We are
particularly interested in topics which have not been given before or have
had only limited exposure. Proposals for tutorials that might draw only a
small audience are quite welcome. Tutorials are usually half-day or all-day.
We do not pay tutorial speakers a fee. We do cover the cost of printing
tutorial notes.
The final two days will be devoted to talks, in a single track. Presentations
can range anywhere from 5 to 50 minutes, and video tape is welcome. Written
papers are not required; however, starting this year, the conference
proceedings will be published as a special issue of the X Resource journal,
by arrangement between the MIT X Consortium and O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
The issue will be available both at and after the conference. So, this is
an ideal opportunity to reach a large X community, with rapid publication.
On all three days, there will be "Birds of a Feather" sessions for general
discussion of areas of specific interest to the attendees. If there are
particular BOFs you would like to see or run, please let us know.
There will no trade show or vendor exhibits associated with this conference.
If you would like to give a tutorial, make a presentation, run a BOF, or
have some other creative proposal, send details to:
xconference@expo.lcs.mit.edu

Network mail is preferred. Please be sure to include your name, net and postal
address, phone number, affiliation, a detailed description of the presentation,
what your relationship is to the work (e.g. project manager, principal
designer, lead engineer, me-myself-and-I), how much time you need for the
presentation, and what A/V facilities you need. The deadline for submissions
is November 1; receipt will be acknowledged.
Please be aware that the deadline for camera-ready copy of final papers for
accepted talks will be November 26. Notification of acceptance will happen
around November 14, so it is best to have a reasonably complete draft by the
November 1 submission deadline.
