[Tcl-soc2008] Tcl Conference 2008

[Matthew M. B. <mm...@gw...>]

All,

Now that we are in the wrapping up phase of GSoC, I would like to 
encourage you (students and mentors) to consider putting together a 
brief presentation for the Tcl Conference which will take place this 
October outside of Washington, DC.


Final surveys are due 1 September.  As with the midterm, both mentor and 
student have to complete a survey or else the student wil not get paid.  
Details on the final surveys are available here:

In talking with members of the program committee, I think the consensus 
is that a session of short (~10min) presentations on the projects would 
be of interest to the community and giving a presentation might be a 
nice benefit for the students.  For students who are unable to attend 
the conference, perhaps the mentor could present.  If both student and 
mentor cannot attend, contact me separately and maybe we can make 
another arrangement--I've certainly been to a number of sessions where 
third-parties have presented; and there's always Skype and a pair of 
decent speakers!

Matt
