September 16-20, 2002 is the time, and Vancouver British Columbia Canada [L1 ] is the city (home of ActiveState) for the Ninth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference. Check http://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2002/ for all the details.
RS: As one of the Tclers that cannot attend, I would be very happy if the lucky ones in Vancouver could let us know how it goes (maybe right here on this page?)
LV I found an open terminal, and of course the second thing I did (after sending mail to the family) was stop in to update the page!
I arrived yesterday pm. The tutorials are said to have gone well - I have talked to Ken Jones and Clif Flynt who were tired but pleased with the way their presentations went.
Spent the afternoon talking with stevel, Steve Ball, dkf, aku, Clif, Mark Roseman, tclguy, Mac Cody, kennykb, and a number of others whom I have met over the past 3-4 conferences. It certainly is good to see them all again. Donal, Kevin, David Enry and myself grabbed a quick bite at a wonderful greek restraunt, then walked over to Activestate for the reception. Food, libations (for those who ate less than I at dinner), and loud music was the rule of the evening. I got to say hi to a number more Tcler's - like Matt Herdon of ActiveState - the tools manager - and Richard Hipp, as well as others.
After being on the go for about 20 hrs, I went back to the room, decellerated with a bit of tele time, and fell asleep.
This morning, I'm up, chatting with the early birds (Mark informs me that Vancouver is a premeir place for Starbucks and other coffee shops...) and waiting for breakfast. We'll let you all know how things are going through the week.
Marty Backe - Thanks for the update. Keep'em comin. Dave Griffin - Hello to all. Sorry I can't be there (again) this year. Sigh!
Ro - Thanks - I wish I was there! Vancouver is far from Ottawa though ;( I can't wait to read Steve Landers' and Jean-Claude Wippler's papers! Anybody know if the talks are going to be available in mp3? I hope so!
stevel - a copy of my paper might be at [L2 ] and JCW's slides at [L3 ] <wink>
LV I don't notice anyone video or audio taping the sessions, so I must assume that the sessions will not be available to watch. I have not yet seen any word on availability of the papers online, nor of the wonderful Proceedings CD that is a part of the conference.
This morning, we had a keynote by Mark, talking about his 10 years with Tcl/Tk and how it played an integral part in the acquisition of Teamwave, a talk by our own jcw about the wiki, and 2 talks (so far) on uses of Tcl in applications - one, by the author of http://www.starfishsystems.ca/ , a remote system admin package, and one by Hugh Dunne about testing high performance fiber optic switches. One more talk, and then time to go to lunch!
