Call for Participation Reminder! - 44th Internationalization & Unicode Conference, Santa Clara, CA - October 14-16, 2020
by Jim DeLaHunt March 9, 2021

March 9, 2021

Hello, UA Colleagues: I want to be sure this group sees the call for participation for the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference, which takes place this October 14-16, 2020, in Santa Clara, California, USA. Do you want to propose a talk? If so, the deadline is this Friday, March 6, in the UTC-8 timezone. Many of you know the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference. For those who don't, it is a gathering of those who define The Unicode Standard for text, as well as architects of fonts, text rendering, and beyond that into software engineering aspects of internationalisation and localisation. About 100% of the audience are solidly in favour of the values and goals of Universal Acceptance. However, much fewer than 100% know what the Universal Acceptance Group does, and what the current successes and obstacles are. I think Universal Acceptance should not be absent from this conference. If anyone has questions about this conference, I have been attending for many years, and I would be happy to answer them. Others on this list are probably even more expert than I am. Best regards, —Jim DeLaHunt, Vancouver, Canada -------- Forwarded Message -------- Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2020 16:29:05 -0500 Message-Id: <202002202129.01KLT5NP015843(a)aquamarine.omg.org> From: Unicode Conference <programs(a)unicodeconference.org> Subject: Call for Participation Reminder! - 44th Internationalization & Unicode Conference, Santa Clara, CA - October 14-16, 2020 IUC 44 Conference To see this message in your browser click *here <https://www.unicodeconference.org/e-marketing/IUC44-CfPReminder-02-20-20.htm>* Internationalization & Unicode Conference 44.

I am also writing to inform all of you that we are now calling for nominations for chairs and vice-chairs of all the four UASG working groups: UA Technology WG, UA EAI WG, UA Measurement WG and UA Communications WG, following the annual cycle as specified in their charters. The nominations and discussions on WG positions will be done within the WGs so please join their mailing lists in case you would like to participate in the process. Here are the timelines: 30 Nov. 2020 (1200UTC) &ndash last date for self-nomination. This can be done by emailing on the relevant WG mailing list with your own interest in chair or vice-chair position and sharing a short Statement of Interest in your email. 9 Dec. 2020 (1200UTC) &ndash last date to post your feedback on any of the self-nominated candidates on the emailing list of the relevant WG, to contribute towards developing a (rough) consensus for the candidates .

Nov. 12, 2020

Good morning/afternoon/evening I have a question. I have in my calendar an entry for an UA session (title in the subject line) scheduled for today, Thursday 5 November, at 18:50 UTC. However, now that I wanted to get the Zoom link I do not see the session in the main schedule anymore. Can somebody tell me whether the session is cancelled, it is a mistake from my part, or is the entry missing from today’s calendar? Thanks, Roberto
