Conference

[Andre Cramblit]

Greetings from Seattle!

Attached is the first announcement for next summer's Multimedia Technology
Symposium entitled "ANCIENT VOICES, MODERN TOOLS: Language and
Tech-Knowledge" to be presented in collaboration by the Indigenous
Language Institute and the University of Washington.  The conference will
take place in Seattle on the University of Washington campus from August
20 through 23, 2004.

The material to be presented at this conference is essential to all
individuals and groups who are working to preserve native languages.  We
hope that you will start making plans now to join us next summer.

The program is still in development stage and more information will be
made available on the ILI website (www.indigenous-language.org) and by
mail in due course.  In the meantime, we are interested in hearing from
those who would be willing to demonstrate their language technologies as
part of a workshop presentation.

Please share the attached brochure with your colleagues and friends and
forward it to all who might be interested in attending.  And mark your
calendar to be in Seattle August 20 through 23, 2004!

Best Regards,

Sue Ellen Jacobs,  University of Washington
