RE: [Caml-list] OCaml Users and Developers Workshop 2019: Call for presentations

["David Allsopp" <David.Allsopp@cl.cam.ac.uk>]

A reminder that the deadline for talk proposals is in just over a fortnight!

All proposals welcome - previous talks have included internship and
experience reports,
across the entire range of the language, from exotic new hardware backends
to language
features and tooling advances.

If you have any doubts about the scope of the talks, do get in touch
directly.
Additionally, if travel to the conference may be an issue, there is a budget
available
 - again, please get in touch.

> Scope
> -----
> 
> Presentations and discussions focus on the OCaml programming language and
> its community. We aim to solicit talks on all aspects related to improving
> the use or development of the language and its programming environment,
> including, for example (but not limited to):
> 
> - compiler developments, new backends, runtime and architectures
> 
> - practical type system improvements, such as GADTs, first-class
>   modules, generic programming, or dependent types
> 
> - new library or application releases, and their design rationales
> 
> - tools and infrastructure services, and their enhancements
> 
> - prominent industrial or experimental uses of OCaml, or deployments
>   in unusual situations.
> 
> Presentations
> -------------
> 
> The workshop is an informal meeting with no formal proceedings. The
> presentation material will be available online from the workshop homepage.
> The presentations may be recorded and made available at a later date.
> 
> The main presentation format is a workshop talk, traditionally around 20
> minutes in length, plus question time, but we also have a poster session
> during the workshop -- this allows to present more diverse work, and gives
> time for discussion. The program committee will decide which presentations
> should be delivered as posters or talks.
> 
> Submission
> ----------
> 
> To submit a presentation, please register a description of the talk (about
> 2 pages long) at
> 
>   https://ocaml2019.hotcrp.com/
> 
> providing a clear statement of what will be provided by the
> presentation: the problems that are addressed, the solutions or methods
> that are proposed.
> 
> LaTeX-produced PDFs are a common and welcome submission format. For
> accessibility purposes, we ask PDF submitters to also provide the sources
> of their submission in a textual format, such as .tex sources. Reviewers
> may read either the submitted PDF or the text version.
> 
> Important dates
> ---------------
> 
> Friday 17th May (any time zone)     Abstract submission deadline
> Sunday 30th June                    Author notification
> Friday 23rd August                  OCaml Workshop
> 
> ML family workshop
> ------------------
> 
> The ML family workshop, held on the previous day, deals with general
> issues of the ML-style programming and type systems, focuses on more
> research-oriented work that is less specific to a language in particular.
> There is an overlap between the two workshops, and we have occasionally
> transferred presentations from one to the other in the past. Authors who
> feel their submission fits both workshops are encouraged to mention it at
> submission time and/or contact the Program Chairs.
