DOCBOOK: [announce] Extreme 2002 - Call for Participation

["Steven R. Newcomb" <srn at coolheads dot com>]

          Call for Participation
       Extreme Markup Languages 2002
  Sponsored by IDEAlliance (Alexandria, Va.)

Not for beginners, nor the technically faint.  This is
the edge, the hard bits, the theory behind the
practice, the practice that outstrips current theory --
the Extreme.

Extreme Markup Languages is:

  - an intense 3.7-day conference preceded by two days
    of tutorials

  - devoted to technical aspects of markup, markup
    languages, markup systems and markup applications,
    and everything touched by the question of how best
    to allow information to describe itself.

  - a 4-day coffee jag

It's not to everyone's taste: too technical for some,
too theoretical for some, too abstract for some -- and
perfect for some.

At Extreme Markup Languages software developers, markup
theorists, philosophers of information, knowledge
representers (and presenters!), and the kind of people
who like hanging around with them devote the better
part of a week to the unfettered pursuit of better
understanding of problems of information management,
knowledge systems, markup, formal languages, the search
for a better parser interface, and the development of
markup-related software.

    Moderation in the organization of information is no
    virtue.

    Extremism in the investigation of markup is no
    vice.
