We will not waste money and trees on printed proceedings but will distribute the conference material electronically and expect to receive your final slides no later than 4 weeks before the conference. Please let us know if you want to include other materials (articles, HOWTO etc). All papers should be considered 'open source', and as such, non-disclosure agreements and other limits will require us to return the paper.

If you want to give a short talk about recent developments, early projects or a new idea not yet ready to be published, a "Works In Progress" session can be organized during the conference. We are particularly interested in presentation of student work.

The language of the conference is English. If we can arrange it, all talks will be videotaped (unless the speaker objects).
