Ideas for Fuel-GILT Conference 2014
by Rahul Bhalerao 22 Aug '14

22 Aug '14

Hi All, As we discussed in the monthly meeting last week (sorry for the delayed followup), we can have a workshop theme for this years conference. As we experienced last year, the conference provided a common platform for experts from language technology domains. We also saw a lot of people discussing and trying to solve many of the technical and tactical problems during the breaks and open sessions. So this time why can't we make better use of the available skills in a more formal way. I think we could do following to make this years event even more productive and creative: 1. We can have two sets of parallel events during the conference - Presentations - Workshops 2. Above can be scheduled either parallel to each other or the workshops can be held separately, if required, more than one workshop at a time. Since not everyone would be interested and required for every workshop, only the relevant people will attend one workshop while some other group may continue with some other workshop. 3. The workshops can either be directed or only be facilitated. Which means, - In case of Directed, the conductor of the workshop will have set of activities outlined beforehand, and the participants will work on them, and get some specific task done in the group. - In case of Facilitated, there is no need of set of predefined tasks, but only problems of similar kind will be floated for discussion so that anyone with expertise can suggest the solutions and help each other. 4. In the CFP, we can give these two types for the session, 'talk/presentation' and 'workshop'. 5. For small issues not worth conducting complete workshops, we can ask people to post their issues, problems, queries at one place, a wikipage will do for this. In the final schedule of the conference we can group these queries into relevant sessions which could be conducted as 'facilitated workshops'. Any ideas, suggestions and list of queries apt for the event can be collected here https://fedorahosted.org/fuel/wiki/FuelGilt2014Suggestions Please contribute on the page to give more inputs to the organizers. Regards, Rahul.

Hi, FUEL GILT Conference 2014! Welcome to the 2nd FUEL GILT Conference - the largest event of FOSS language technology - its challenges, solutions, best practices and its conventions. FUEL GILT Conference is all about language technology world, all about GILT industry - G11N, I18N, L10N, and translation world. The event is showcase of the efforts of volunteer communities and different organizations in the field of language technology. This event also tells us the pain and conflicts of different cultures and languages. All things are revolved around the language - related to words! We are the worshiper of words! So, please mark your calendar - possibly 2nd/3rd week of November 2014. And the place is Pune, India - culturally one of the most vibrant city of India! We will announce the final date in about two weeks. Like last year, the organizers of FUEL GILT Conference are Red Hat and C-DAC GIST! Thanks a lot to both the organizations for continuous support and helping hand. FUEL is growing only because of the support of volunteer communities world-wide and several well known organizations! The power of the event is the power of collaboration, the power of sharing, the power of volunteerism! Currently, c.60 language communities are working with the FUEL Project. Since 2008, FUEL Project is consistently working with the different language communities to provide standard linguistic resources eg. terminologies, style guides, assessment methods etc to the world. Like last year, please collaborate and cooperate to make the event a huge success!
