Boost Library Authors: BoostCon submission deadline approaching

Hi all, at last year's BoostCon, one of the highlights was the authors corner track. These were 20-30 minute sessions held by Boost library authors talking about their libraries. Most of the attendees of those sessions found them to be very interesting and useful. At this year's BoostCon we would like to have a similar track again. Unfortunately by now we don't have any related submissions. So I thought I explicitly encourage boost authors who are planning to be in Austin this year to consider giving a 30 minute introductory talk about their libraries. This is not a huge effort in terms of preparation, but adds a lot to the conference. You can find the details about BoostCon and the submission process here: http://www.boostcon.com/program/call-for-sessions. Please spread the word! Regards Hartmut Program Chair

What's the problem? Last time I checked, they still allow Texans in Colorado (grudgingly, to be sure). -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Not exactly cheap, but it's the off-season, so things can be a lot cheaper than than they woudl otherwise be. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Why don't you ask around ;-), and see if anyone wants to share a hotel room? I'll bet we could start a discussion for those interested in the forums on the BoostCon site..... -- -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:marshall@idio.com> It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
