I hope you all can help Steve make this a wonderful Symposium and I will be in the background as much as I can - I am truly grateful that this Symposium will help start a new era online that is very important. I know one important need is more data for software developers to work with - more written SignWriting literature in many sign languages, so I am hoping I can start at least posting some of the many documents that people have been sending to me to post. I am trying to get back to work a little on posting documents - for example the entire Book of Genesis and parts of Exodus have recently been completed in written Signed English - Signed English is "ASL signs in English word order" - written by Ron Dettloff and they are all in PDFs. Are PDFs useful for software development? I ask Amit really - and anyone else who needs more and more written documents - I need to find out if they are in SignPuddle 2 as FSW or SWU - they probably are - anyway I also have the PDFs that Ron has been sending me and I need to post them too...</div><div><br></div><div><div>

Hi Rubens,<br>
<br>
I'm glad you like the idea and are willing to participate.<br>
<br>
About language, I was thinking your language, your country.
Although, if you want to present in English, that would be fine.
Depends who you are targeting with your presentation. <br>
<br>
Presenters will register by country, signed language, spoken
language, and subtrack. They will be assigned alphabetic letters
starting at "a". Presenters can register multiple times.<br>
<br>
So for you, you could register for Brazil with Libras and Portuguese
or ASL and English for the Teachers subtrack.<br>
<br>
* br - Brazil<br>
* bzs - Libras<br>
* pt - Portuguese<br>
* ase - ASL<br>
* en - English<br>
* ii - Subtrack 2 - Teachers<br>
<br>
We will communicate by email or whats app, and I will send you your
official registrations of br-bzs-pt-ii-c (because two people
registered before you) and br-ase-en-ii-a (because you are the
first).<br>
<br>
Each registered presenter can have multiple presentations. Each
presentation will add a number to the presenter's registration like
br-bzs-pt-ii-a-1.<br>
<br>
Each presentation will have meta data and one or more of the
following:<br>
* cover image<br>
* URL<br>
* video, 5 to 30 minutes<br>
* zip file of organized presentation material<br>
<br>
If you want to appear on the website, registration will be open
soon. If you want to zoom during the symposium, we can set up a
time. For an English zoom conversation, we can ask Val if she'd
like to attend. For a sign language conversation, I'd have to ask
Adam Frost if he's available to attend during that week or some
other time. <br>
<br>
We have a year to prepare. My weekend SignWriting office hours will
be full.<br>
* SignWriting Symposium 2024 organization<br>
* Sutton-SignWriting.io website rewrite<br>
* Sutton SignWriting Web Components<br>
* Amazon Web Services infrastructure<br>
<br>
Sounds exciting,<br>
-Steve<br>

What a wonderful new!<br>
I look forward to participating in this event.<br>
The dates are excellent for the Brazilian community.<br>
One question, should the presentation of the video be in
English? Should it be accessible in ASL? What are the
guidelines in this regard?<br>
Thank you very much for everyone's attention!<br>

Yeah, probably fully remote. I'm not opposed to an actual
event, but the amount of effort and expense is an issue.<br>

That being said, if it's possible to have a real world

<div> 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>
