Subject:        	BSDCan 2005 - Work In Progress session


Hello folks,

This year, BSDCan will be hosting a set of Work-in-Progress (WIP)
sessions, which will offer an opportunity for individuals or groups 
to
give up to five minute presentations on a on-going project.  Slides
are permitted but not obligatory, but pictures are highly 
recommended!
Typical topics for WIPs might include new open source software
projects, specific works in progress for future releases of existing
projects, student projects, or other new and interesting things.  WIP
topics this year may make good conference papers for next year!  

A one hour time slot is available for WIPs, so the number of slots is
limited!  Sign up well in advance to be assured a spot.  Please e-
mail papers at bsdcan.org to sign up -- send a one or two paragraph
summary of the topic to be presented, and the person(s) presenting 
it.
 Also, please give a time estimate -- typically times will be one to
five minutes. The time limit will be strictly enforced.  The WIP e-
mail registration deadline is May 6, after which remaining slots (if
any) may be signed up for in person.  Any slides must be provided in
advance, in PDF, Open Office, or Powerpoint format.  The WIP session
will be chaired by Robert Watson.  The deadline for slides is 
midnight
Friday 13 May 2005 and they should be sent to rwatson at FreeBSD.org.

See you at BSDCan 2005!
