[Communicator-user] Announcing: Communicator Open Source workshop

[Samuel L. B. <sa...@li...>]

All -

CMU and the MITRE Corporation would like to invite DARPA Communicator
program participants to a workshop on open source
Communicator-compliant software.

WHEN: January 12, 2001
WHERE: CMU
AGENDA: exchange of plans for open source releases, discussion of
issues involving use and commercialization of open source,
presentation of "lessons learned"

This workshop is open to all DARPA Communicator program participants;
as long as you're interested in the issue of open source software for
dialogue systems and you feel you have something to contribute, you
don't need to be planning to offer such software to attend. The format
of the workshop will depend on its size, but will almost certainly
involve a mix of formal presentations and round-table discussions.

We currently have expressions of interest from MITRE, University of
Mississippi, Lockheed-Martin, and CMU. Other sites should respond
directly to me at sa...@mi... by December 15, 2000, to allow the CMU
folks time to make the appropriate local arrangements. We'll send
hotel recommendations, etc., to participants directly.

Cheers,
Samuel Bayer
The MITRE Corporation
