[Dspace-general] [Dspace-tech] Final Reminder: Call for Papers - DSUG @ OR08

[MacKenzie Smith]

Hi Andrea,

> if so, when is the deadline for it? the main websites say
> Poster Submission Deadline: Monday 4th February 200
I'm on the steering committee for the Open Repositories conference so 
maybe I can explain the process (it's a new conference so this is 
evolving).
The deadline for submissions to the main conference was December 7th, 
and the deadline for poster submissions for the *main conference* is 
Monday, February 4.

The program committee is just finishing its review of the conference 
paper submissions, and many of those will be referred to the poster 
session or one of the user group meetings. There were a lot of good 
papers this year so there are a lot of these referrals, but there is 
plenty of room for more submissions to both the poster session and the 
user group meeting.

I don't think we planned to have a separate poster session for DSUG, but 
that might be possible to do at the user group reception, if people 
wanted another chance to talk about their work and didn't get accepted 
to the main DSUG program or the main poster session.

Let me know if you have more questions and I'll do my best to answer,

MacKenzie
