Hi Jonathan and SW-List,<br>
<br>
I'm still in the early stages of deciding dates and formats. I'm
open to suggetions. I know my part will be on Zoom and video
releases on youtube. The <a href="http://sutton-signwriting.io" target="_blank">sutton-signwriting.io</a> website will
coordinate the event(s) when it's ready.<br>
<br>
Tentatively, July 15-18, 2024, I will be scheduling zoom meetings
with presenters and contributors. If anyone wants to have an event
that same week, I'd be happy to appear at their event via zoom or
other platform to discuss and share.<br>
<br>
I am still working on the website rewrite, but the symposium idea
has helped tie it together. I will have the first rewrite available
soon with email and whats app integration. After that, I'll
continue work on the Amazon Web Services platform rewrite. <br>
<br>
All SignWriting related information is welcome and can be submitted
to the SignWriting Symposium 2024 and/or to the
Sutton-SignWriting.io website.<br>
<br>
Work in progress,<br>
-Steve<br>
