SignWriting List June 6, 2015 Dear Presenters at the SW Symposium 2015 - Thank you for the abstracts I have already received. I will start working on your web pages for the Symposium presentations when I receive your abstracts. Take a look at this web page to see an example of how the Symposium web pages look… SignWriting Symposium 2014 Presentation by Claudia Bianchini http://www.signwriting.org/symposium/presentation0001.html <http://www.signwriting.org/symposium/presentation0001.html> As you can see, if you click on “Authors” on the above web page, it takes you to the biographies and photos of the presenters. So, if you are a first-time presenter at the Symposium, I will need your biography and photos, as well as your Abstracts. If you presented in 2014, then I already have your bio and photos, unless you wish to update them, and if so, no problem - Just send me the updated files. Also, if you wish to have a bi-lingual posting of your abstract and bio in your native language and also in English, you are welcome to send me the files in one language, or both, or I can arrange for the English translation…it is all good... This is so much fun to be in touch with so many talented people - Look forward to hearing from you - Val ;-) ——— SIGNWRITING SYMPOSIUM 2015 PRESENTATION 1 “The Javascript-based SignWriting Keyboard for Use on Wikimedia and throughout the Web” AUTHOR Yair Rand [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> LANGUAGE: English COUNTRY: Canada CATEGORY: SignWriting in Software ————————————————————————————————————————— PRESENTATION 2 “SignWriting Electronic Flashcards for Different Sign Languages” AUTHOR André Lemyre [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> LANGUAGE: English & French COUNTRY: Quebec, Canada CATEGORY: SignWriting in Education ————————————————————————————————————————— PRESENTATION 3 “What three little pigs and a hungry wolf can teach us about sign language grammar” AUTHOR James Shepard-Kegl [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> LANGUAGE: English COUNTRY: Nicaragua & USA CATEGORY: SignWriting in Education ————————————————————————————————————————— PRESENTATION 4 “Embracing the Future of SignWriting with TrueType Fonts, HTML 5, and Unicode 8” AUTHOR Stephen E Slevinski Jr [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> LANGUAGE: English COUNTRY: USA CATEGORY: SignWriting in Software ————————————————————————————————————————— PRESENTATION 5 “The Search Possibilities of Formal SignWriting” AUTHOR Stephen E Slevinski Jr [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> LANGUAGE: English COUNTRY: USA CATEGORY: SignWriting in Software ————————————————————————————————————————— PRESENTATION 6 “Signtype: Designing a SignWriting Font – Ideas and Challenges" AUTHORS: Janina Lentföhr Joachim Nitschke Paul Rutrecht AFFILIATIONS: Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Department Design (http://www.design.haw-hamburg.de <http://www.design.haw-hamburg.de/>) Delegs (http://www.delegs.de <http://www.delegs.de/>) LANGUAGES: Slide Presentation and Video Presentation English (spoken language), Video (Sign language) CATEGORY: SignWriting in Research ————————————————————————————————————————— PRESENTATION 7 “DELEGS Editor: A Step-by-Step Video Tutorial.
