volunteer positions go quickly

jtrant — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 23:32:06 +0000

Thanks for your offer, Lisa, but we have already got all of the volunteers we need. These positions are very popular, and fill up really quickly.

There was almost a full complement for MW2011 by the end of 2010.

reception tickets included with 'regular' registration

jtrant — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 13:02:55 +0000

Hi Josh,

Yes, reception tickets – and the first-timers' orientation – are included in the full conference registration fee. There are 'extra' tickets available for people who are travelling with companions and want to bring them to the parties.

There's more detail about the receptions and other catering in the 'Food at MW' post here.

Hope to see you in Philadelphia!

Hi, I nominated a website for the MW2011 and I would like to know if there is a possibility to make a small change in one of the fields.

Best, Sofia

great way to get an overview and meet people

jtrant — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 18:04:31 +0000

i'll admit that i'm biased ;) but one of the great things about Museums and the Web is that it provides a unique opportunity to get a snapshot of the 'state of the Web'.

if you're just beginning to consider what to do, one of the best ways to push your thinking is to look at a lot of examples, and talk to lots of people. many aspects of the MW2011 program – like the Demonstrations – are designed to give you an opportunity to do just that!

and don't worry about being new to it all. we all started somewhere, and there are events like the First Timers' Orientation designed to help you meet people and get the conversation started!

hope to see you at MW2011 in Philadelphia!

proceedings development process

jtrant — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 13:54:50 +0000

Hi Andrea,

As i said elsewhere, we'll be in touch if there are questions about your paper.

If you're interested in how the proceedings are developed, see the post David wrote about the process at MW2009.

While the process isn't exactly the same this year with the new Drupal based systems, it's close.

we'lll be in touch

jtrant — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 13:48:02 +0000

Andrea,

we'll be in touch if there are any questions about your paper; once it's back from the copy editor.

thanks.

/jennifer

Hi Jennifer I am also very eager to know if my paper has been included into the proceedings. Please let me know. Thanks.,

paper acceptance to the proceeding

puffo25 — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 09:38:52 +0000

Hi, I have submitted my paper for inclusion into the proceeding about 2 weeks ago. I was wondering if there was any formatting, spelling or any other sort of error?

David's posted about catering

jtrant — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 20:05:45 +0000

Your question's inspired David to write the 'Food at MW' post. Details are here.

we're reviewing papers now...

jtrant — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 16:51:24 +0000

hi Ditte,

we're reviewing MW2011 papers now, and they are on their way to the copy editor. they'll then be marked up in HTML and mounted on the conference web site. some will appear in the print Selected Papers.

no-one else is supposed to be able to see your uploaded files, as that's not the final published version of your paper. File upload is an administrative function that's designed to help us keep track of things. it's hard to believe, but there were more than 430MB of files submitted!

i'll check on your paper for you, so you're not anxious.

conference hotel - meals

norditte — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 18:59:07 +0000

Hi,

Are any meals included in the conference hotel fee?

acceptance of paper

norditte — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 18:57:38 +0000

I have uploaded my paper in time – when and how will I know if it is accepted?

Also, the paper is only visible in the sessions program when I am logged in - why is that?

All speakers pay registration fees

jtrant — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 23:15:00 +0000

hi Andrea,

yes, all speakers at MW2011 pay registration fees (as outlined in the MW2011 Speakers Acceptance Form).

MW is a very participatory meeting, with a very high proportion of delegates presenting in some way. It's also entirely self-supporting.

With everyone registering, that shares the costs across as many people as possible.

Looking forward to seeing you in Philadelphia!

Registration fee for speakers?

puffo25 — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 22:52:13 +0000

Hi, I am travelling from Europe with a lot of travel expenses. I am speaker at the conference, I am wondering if admission will be free of charge for me.?

Hotel Info on Local Information Page

jtrant — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 17:50:15 +0000

Hi Matt,

Yes, MW2011 has negotiated a special rate of $219 [single or double] backed by Lowes Best Rate Pledge; make your reservation by March 15, 2011 to receive this rate.

There's more detail on the MW2011 Local Information page.

It's very nice hotel in a great location, and is just the right size for us to 'take over' for a week of MW discussions.

See you soon!

Conference rate at the hotel?

mattmorgan — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 16:46:35 +0000

Is there a special rate for the conference at the hotel?

Thanks

MW2011 Paper License

jtrant — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 20:58:00 +0000

Hi Dave,

We publish all MW papers under a CC-BY-NC license which would make any of them available for translation and free online publication by CHIN, with appropriate credit/acknowledgement. Under an NC (non-commercial) license you can't charge for something that includes the papers without further permission.

Your use of own paper is governed by the license that you give to us for publication in the MW2011 License and Permission Form. While it grants us the right of first publication, you retain copyright. So you can translate, republish, redistribute, or whatever, as long as you honour the agreement to include the citation, and link to the original version of the paper.

Whether we could include the French-language version of your paper on the MW2011 conference site likely has more to do with production schedules for the conference than with licenses, though. Let's take that discussion off-line. Can you please contact us with an estimate of when you'd have a French translation available?

Thanks.

Paper Translation & Reproduction

david.harkness — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 19:57:02 +0000

Bonjour,

We were wondering if you have guidelines on- or offline about reproducing our M&W paper in English and otherwise.

1) What are your guidelines for reproducing the article in a contributor's own online resources area if properly referenced back to the original?

2) We'd like to have our paper translated for our French audience. Can or should we a) make this available on our own site, b) submit it to M&W to accompany the English (post-January 31, unfortunately), or c) perhaps add a French abstract to the English article on the M&W site later on? Or any combination thereof, of course.

Thanks in advance for the information,

Dave

Paper Length

jtrant — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 01:27:15 +0000

hi Isabelle,

5,000 words is a recommended length. you're not writing an assignment for school; you should write the paper that does your ideas justice.

we won't cut you off at the 5,000th word. nor will we penalize you for writing only 4,000 -- if they are 4,000 good words ;)

we just ask that you remember your readers, and write the best paper you can, as succinctly as possible.

looking forward to reading your submission.

the .dot appears to work perfectly, thank you.

.dot version of MW2011 Paper Template

jtrant — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 16:43:56 +0000

hi Loic,

i've just made a .dot version of the MW2011 Paper Template for download, and linked it into the MW2011 Paper Guidelines page as well.

could you please let me know if you're successful with it? we don't have a machine running an older version of Word that's easily accessible at the moment, so i haven't been able to test.

thanks!

.dot version of the Template

Loic Tallon — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 09:33:09 +0000

Hi MW.

My MSOffice software version is refusing to recognise the .dotx MW2011 Word Template, and this is despite following all the routes suggested on this site and those on other online forums.

Do you please have a .dot version of the MW2011 Word Template that I could use?

Thank you!

Loic.

MW2011 Paper Guidelines include details about illustrations

jtrant — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 16:25:29 +0000

Hi Loic,

The MW2011 Paper Guidelines have just been revised and are linked from the Speakers Page.

Image guidelines are in section 6. Illustrations and Figures and the two sections below, related specifically to images for web and print production.

There's also a Word template to download, that also includes the Guidelines.

Thanks for asking! Submissions that follow the guidelines make it possible for us to get all papers through production and online before MW2011 in April.

See you in Philly!
