Hi,
I am putting together a submission for LAC 2011.
I was half way through writing up the paper before I looked at the
submission form and realised (I think) that you are only asking for an
abstract at the moment, not the whole paper. Is this right?
If so, it might be a bit clearer for people not used to the academic
thing if you changed the wording on the web page to make this obvious.
Cheers,
andy baxter

cool. looking forward to it!

No, we'd already like to have more or less completed papers. If there's
some section missing, make a note and briefly explain why it's missing.
There'll be a review period and you'll get feedback - likely with
suggestions for changes and comments.
Then you'll have ~3-4 weeks in March to update the paper if you wish.
..same procedure as every year..

Thanks for bringing this up. I'll look into it tomorrow.
Maybe it's the term "Camera ready" [1] that's somewhat confusing.
I think I'll just remove that since it's basically an internal deadline
and I'll add a note that papers should be as complete as possible when
being submitted.
Note that until we close paper-submission, you can replace/update your
submitted file in the openconf [2] system as often as you wish.

OK, thanks for making this clear - I should have it done by early next
week if not before.

P.S. I think the bit that confused me is just that there are two
deadlines listed for papers to be submitted - the January 15th one and
the 'camera ready papers' one. What would help is if you said a bit more
clearly what the submission and review process actually entails, rather
than just listing the deadlines.
E.g.
' January 15th is the deadline for you to submit draft papers for
consideration and review by our panel of experts. By xxx we will let you
know if your paper has been accepted and give you the reviewer's
comments. You then have till yyy to return the final version of your
paper for inclusion in the programme.'
The other bit I found confusing is that the openconf system initially
just asks you for an abstract, and uploading a paper happens in a
separate step, so it's not obvious which of these you have to do by the
deadline.
Hope this helps,
andy

Isn't this just common practices for academic conferences, however? All
those I've been to (in the Engineering and Computer Science fields) have
similar terminology.

Maybe, but that assumes that everyone coming is familiar with the
terminology and procedure around academic conferences. I'm not. I can
appreciate that the conference panel want to do things in a rigorous
way, but for a conference like this that serves a hobbyist community as
well as an academic one, I think it would help if things were explained
a bit more clearly.
