XTech 2000: Call for Papers and Tutorials

[David Megginson]

Together with my co-chairs, Jon Bosak and Tim Bray, I would like to
invite the members of xml-dev to submit proposals for papers and
tutorials at the XTech 2000 conference, which will be held from
February 27 to 2 March 2000 in San Jose, CA.

XTech is sponsored by the GCA and is the major west-coast XML
conference: it has a technical (rather than marketing) focus, and it
is an excellent place for introducing or debating new ideas and
technologies.  For more information about the conference, please see

  http://www.gca.org/attend/2000_conferences/xtech_2000/

Note that the submission deadline of November 30 on the Web page is
incorrect (we'll fix it ASAP); the deadline for both paper and
tutorial proposals is December 8, 1999, with notification by December
30, 1999.
