[Sw-l] Announcing the SignWriting Symposium 2024

[Steve Slevinski]

Hi Jonathan and SW-List,

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 sutton-signwriting.io website will coordinate the event(s) 
when it's ready.

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.

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.

All SignWriting related information is welcome and can be submitted to 
the SignWriting Symposium 2024 and/or to the Sutton-SignWriting.io website.

Work in progress,
-Steve
