<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>This
year, at the Study of Indigenous Languages (SSILA) 2007 Conference, in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Anaheim</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">CA</st1:State></st1:place>,
we will have a Global Revitalization Technology “poster”
session. The session is different in that it will be composed entirely of
digital media presentations. It is also different in that media will be
submitted and the creators are not required to attend the conference as they
usually are when presenting a paper. We believe this will allow more people
from around the globe to participate. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I am
the primary chair, and Sue Penfield will be assisting on an as-available basis.
This new poster session is occurring because at SSILA, 2006, there were several
to many presentations on revitalization this year, and on the ILAT list at U.
Arizona, people have been talking about how we need more of it. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the conference will be in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Anaheim</st1:City></st1:place>,
we anticipate excellent technical support. We are looking for digital movie
formats, although Powerpoint with video and voice-over is very acceptable. The
purpose is to showcase how technology can be used in revitalization, and how we
as a community are using it. We also encourage presentations in local languages.
