Once again, I’m co-chairing, with Jeremy Carroll the developer’s track of the WWW2006 conference. Well, actually, if you’ve been paying close attention you’d recognize that last year (and in previous years) it wasn’t a track, it was instead a separate day. This year though, it’s a track like any other, with sessions on each day of the conference.

Believe it or not, there’s a significant enough of a difference between organizing a track and organizing a day, that we’ve had some troubles. Thankfully though, we’ve finally made our way past them and have just posted the Call for Papers. Please consider submitting. The deadline is March 19th.

“If MoveOn and other organizations want more assuredness of delivery of their message, they should be sending their message in channels that don’t have spam.” +1

“Especially appreciated are use cases and specific scenarios where a different approach or protocol [other than HTTP/URIs] would have worked better.” Somebody’s got their priorities straight. Kudos.
