Greetings colleagues, Only a week remains before the deadline for submitting workshop proposals for the Communities and Technologies 2007 meeting. This biennial meeting serves as a forum for stimulating and disseminating research on the complex connections between communities – both physical and virtual – and information and communication technologies. We had an excellent response to the completed paper call, and the June 28-30 conference should be an excellent one. Here is some information from the C&T 2007 website about workshops at the C&T meeting: Workshops As with prior C&T meetings, we are planning to host a series of half- day and full day workshops on June 28, the first day of the conference. Workshops are organized around a theme proposed by individuals or groups of researchers and accepted by the program committee. The workshop proposers, with support by the conference co- organizers, run their workshop, including distribution of a call for participation and selection of participants in advance of the conference. Workshops will be held at the conference venue in suitably equipped meeting rooms. Proposals for workshops are due on December 4, 2006. Proposals should be built around specific themes relevant to the conference. Workshop proposals should be 4 pages in length, and should define the theme(s) of the workshop, the main activities and goals, the background and contact information of the organizer(s), the maximum number of participants in the workshop, the means of soliciting participants, and the method of selecting participants. Proposals should also include a brief summary of no more than 150 words suitable for describing the workshop in the conference program. with best regards, Charles Steinfield, Brian Pentland, Mark Ackerman, and Nosh Contractor Co-organizers, 3rd International Conference on Communities and Technologies http://ebusiness.tc.msu.edu/cct2007/
