hello Valerie and all, the part that interest me more is the "Plus I hope we can have a call for papers and presentations on SignWriting research and educational projects around the world - plus perhaps a workshop on SignWriting teaching the writing system for those who want to learn, and also maybe a workshop on learning how to use SignWriting software…" So I hope I'll be there. I really don't know where I'll find the money, but I'll try my best :-) 2013/9/13 Valerie Sutton <[log in to unmask]> > SignWriting List > September 13, 2014 > > Hi Everyone - > At this moment, I am not sure where we will find the money either, but > let's start planning and then I am going to write grants for the event and > maybe we can find the funding! > > So right now, can everyone tell me, what dates in July are best for you? > Can others tell us your schedules? > > The SignWriting Symposium 2014 will be focused on developing Wikipedias in > different sign languages… We will try to help other countries to start > their own Wikipedias in their sign languages… plus add to our ongoing ASL > Wikipedia ... > > So we will be teaching everyone how to write articles in the Wikipedias > and how to manage their country's Wikipedia site too… how to do editing and > how to use the software and so on … > > Plus I hope we can have a call for papers and presentations on SignWriting > research and educational projects around the world - plus perhaps a > workshop on SignWriting teaching the writing system for those who want to > learn, and also maybe a workshop on learning how to use SignWriting > software… > > so it will be a wonderful Symposium, and only the first of many in La > Jolla I hope… > > Actually this will be our second Symposium.
