MacHack Final Call For Papers (And Early Registration)
The good people at MacHack sent us a note that the Final Call for paper submissions and early registration is at hand. According to MacHack:

"The last moment is coming soon! Grab this opportunity to put your ideas in front of the people best qualified to understand them! Attend the world's foremost Mac developer conference at no charge! Revolutionize the software-development industry! Save the world! And as a bonus -- if you're a Macintosh programmer, attending MacHack is just about the most fun you can have in three days!"

For those who may not know, MacHack is one of the world's premier Mac developer gatherings alongside the more formal World Wide Developers Conference. One feature of MacHack is that developers have the opportunity to present ideas to their peers. Once again from MacHack:

"MacHack solicits and accepts papers on a wide variety of topics related to Macintosh software development. For example, the subjects of last year's papers ranged from cross-platform development techniques, to anonymity in internet communications, to exception-handling strategies on the Macintosh, to macroscopic object architectures. Each paper accepted is published in the MacHack Conference proceedings and included on the MacHack CD. Each author gives a 50-minute presentation on his paper during the conference.

Although there are no hard limits, a MacHack paper generally runs from 2000 to 3500 words. Anything that will interest a few hundred of the best Macintosh programmers in the world is a possible subject. Remember that you are writing to a "hands-on" audience -- we strongly encourage the inclusion of supporting code samples. And remember that, although a good MacHack paper might describe a clever and innovative way to use a product, a paper which contains overt marketing will be flatly rejected."

Paper Submissions can be sent to [email protected].

Early registration ends on February 28th. Early registration entitles registrants to US$100 in discounts.
