[ecoop-info] A central place to look up and announce CS events

[Bertrand Meyer]

Dear ECOOP community:

Informatics Europe is offering a new service to conference goers, 
submitters and organizers: a list of events with an easy mechanism to 
add entries. Any computer science event with innovative content, held 
anywhere, is eligible. The service is at

	http://events.informatics-europe.org

where you will already find a few entries about current events, although 
we expect many more in the coming weeks.

You can sort the list by event name, event date, Call for Papers 
deadline (useful when you are wondering where to publish your latest 
result) or country.

You can register your own events using a simple Web form; after approval 
by the site administrator (which may take a day or two), the conference 
will have its page on the site, with a link to its own home page.

As is normal with a new service, we expect that some aspects may require 
improvements in the coming months in response to user feedback. But it's 
operational now.

There is no general service of this kind (with interfaces for both 
readers and event organizers) elsewhere, and we hope 
http://events.informatics-europe.org will become the central reference 
for CS conference announcements. Please take advantage of it.

Thanks,

-- Bertrand Meyer
