Learn from the experts and share your knowledge. The annual Tcl/Tk conference is the best opportunity to talk with experts and peers, cross-examine the Tcl/Tk core team, learn about what's coming and how to use what's here.
Conference Highlights
Conference LocationThe conference will be held at the Hilton Suites Oakbrook Terrace , with rooms at $99.00 (US) per night from Sunday (10/10) to the following Sunday (10/17). (Extensions of this rate may be possible. Inquire when you make a reservation.) When the Hilton software does not have a room in our block available for a night you've requested, it only offers rooms at the $179.00 rate. If that happens to you, contact Beata Fila (Beata.Fila@hilton.com) and let her know what nights you wish to book. It will be taken care of. To register for a room at the conference hotel, visit the Hilton website. These rooms will be released to the general public after September 26, so be sure to reserve your room early. Call for PapersSubmission of SummariesThe program committee is asking for papers and presentation proposals from anyone using or developing with Tcl/Tk (and extensions). The conference schedule will consist of 2 days of tutorials (Monday - Tuesday) and 3 days for the main conference (Wednesday - Friday). Past conferences have seen submissions covering a wide variety of topics including:
This year is the third year that the Tcl community is participating in the Google Summer of Code . The conference program committee would like to encourage submissions that report on the Tcl projects selected for Google SoC 2010. Submission GuidelinesIf submitting a tutorial proposal you should send an outline of the tutorial and a brief biography, and clearly indicate whether the tutorial is of half-day or full-day duration. Paper submissions should consist of an abstract of about 100 words and a summary of not more than two pages, and should be sent as plain text to < tclconference@googlegroups.com > no later than August 1, 2010 . Authors of accepted abstracts will have until October 1, 2010 to submit their final paper for the inclusion in the conference proceedings. The proceedings will be made available on digital media, so extra materials such as presentation slides, code examples, code for extensions etc. are encouraged. Printed proceedings will be produced as an on-demand book at lulu.com . The authors will have 25 minutes to present their paper at the conference. The program committee will review and evaluate papers according to the following criteria:
Proposals may report on commercial or non-commercial systems, but those with only blatant marketing content will not be accepted. Application and experience papers need to strike a balance between background on the application domain and the relevance of Tcl/Tk to the application. Application and experience papers should clearly explain how the application or experience illustrates a novel use of Tcl/Tk, and what lessons the Tcl/Tk community can derive from the application or experience to apply to their own development efforts. Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreements will be returned to the author(s) unread. All submissions are held in the highest confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings, both as a matter of policy and in accord with the U. S. Copyright Act of 1976. The primary author for each accepted paper will receive registration to the Technical Sessions portion of the conference at a reduced rate.
Other Forms of ParticipationThe program committee also welcomes proposals for panel discussions of up to 90 minutes. Proposals should include a list of confirmed panelists, a title and format, and a panel description with position statements from each panelist. Panels should have no more than four speakers, including the panel moderator, and should allow time for substantial interaction with attendees. Panels are not presentations of related research papers. Slots for Works-in-Progress (WIP) presentations and Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (BOFs) are available on a first-come, first-served basis starting in August 1, 2010. Specific instructions for reserving WIP and BOF time slots will be provided in the registration information available in June 2010. Some WIP and BOF time slots will be held open for on-site reservation. All attendees with an interesting work in progress should consider reserving a WIP slot.
