2012 Go Sympoium--Papers/Participants Invited

Peter Shotwell · #1

Hello All,
The notice in the AGA e-Journal missed a few things. Here's the complete announcement.

CALL FOR PAPERS/PARTICIPANTS
at
THE 2012 INTERNATIONAL GO SYMPOSIUM

An International Go Symposium will take place August 3rd and 4th, 2012 at the beginning of the U.S. Go Congress in Black Mountain, North Carolina. Presentations can include educational, cultural, historical, literary, artistic and scientific aspects of the game. Depending on the number and nature of the talks, suggested timing is a half-hour presentation with a 15 minute question and answer period. Additional opportunities for questions and answers afterwards will be available. Translators can be provided.

We are exploring the idea of expanding the usual opportunities to present papers at go conferences to include talks via Skype with a large screen and audience participation along with oral or texting possibilities for extended questions and answers via the Internet. And to alleviate problems with the differences in times, we are also thinking about including talks on DVDs or with other pre-recorded means. Much of this will depend on the number and quality of papers and the amount of sponsorship, so please indicate whether you could attend with or without partial travel expenses or if you would be interested in giving a talk via Skype or pre-recordings.

For those who wish to publish, papers can be included in an e-publication connected with the American Go Association web site and e-Journal (www.usgo.org). Another change from the usual proceedings of a conference is that (again for those who wish to) papers will be put up before the Symposium which will enable better audience participation and the ability to write more than is possible to include in the talk.

Please contact: Peter Shotwell pshotwell@gmail.com

For reference, the beta website for the Symposium is at http://www.gosymposium.org/ and the records of a similar ICOB Conference in 2003 is at http://www.usgo.org/yearbook/2003ICOB.html, while a 2008 Symposium in Sweden is at http://egc2008.eu/en/events/symposium.php.

We are currently reviewing our opportunities and options for sponsorship and would appreciate any suggestions.

*If you wrote me last spring, please do so again to let me know that you are still interested
and that there were no miscommunications.*

This is actually quite interesting. Id like to consider making a paper for the symposium.I see that Jan talked about gobase.org in the Korean one.

I'd love to talk about Online Go ventures in general, and the online community. Do you think that fits the overall idea of the symposium?.

Do you have a deadline for presenting a paper? i cant seem to find any.
