The Call for Paper of the GOR 2006 conference (21/22.3.2006, Bielefeld, Germany) states that besides regular submissions "there will also be the opportunity to propose a group of (3-5) interrelated presentations within one session". I would like to organize a session on social software because I would like to see some presentations on topics like Weblogs (*), Wikis, Folksonomies, Social Networking Sites, … According to Uwe Matzat, who is in charge of the program commitee, the procedure would be that I will collect three to five abstracts and submit them as a "package". The commitee will then decide on the session proposal as a whole. He also added that this would be an interesting topic to feature at GOR 06, since there has been not a lot of work in this area up to now (at least in Germany).
So this is basically a call within a call: Is anyone out there interested in presenting on a social-software-related topic at GOR 2006? I know that the topic "social software" is pretty wide right now, but at this stage I can’t really tell how many people out there are working in this field. The abstracts (~350 words) are due by September 30th, but to get a first impression I would ask you to contact me (jan.schmidt [at] split.uni-bamberg.de) until end of July if you’re generally interested in submitting a presentation. I will collect the replies and then get back to you to decide on further steps.
[Update: Lilia Efimova not only spread the word on this, but suggested to open up a Wiki page to collect replies and make them visible to others. Great idea - here’s the link.]
(*) Weblogs are specifically mentioned in the Call, within the section "Internet & Mobile Communication in Everyday Life". So I guess that there will be a separate session on Weblogs (if there are enough proposals, of course).
I would recommend to you to shut… http://www.yahoo.comhttp://www.slashdot.org
[…] Just noticed that there has been an update of the GOR 2006 Conference Website. Registration is open, and they added the presentation titles and authors. Almost 140, and a wide variety of topics. Unfortunately, our session on "social software" didn’t make the cut, but I see a number of familiar names anyway.. […]
