Hey all - I created this, after receiving a 3rd "cancelled conference" email in as many days, I realized while driving home that this is going to be (at least) a few really slow months for research dissemination.
Happy to answer any questions!
FYI for the technical folks, I was able to whip this up in a day using some really amazing resources: https://tailwindui.com https://tailwindui.com basically has some great copy-pasteable HTML templates, and https://undraw.co https://undraw.co has lots of royalty-free svg graphics. Minimal data collection app in Go for the backend.
- masukomi 7y agoI was very confused by your usage of the word "poster" and "poster session". I had to go look up the meaning of "Poster Session". I've literally never heard the term used in relation to tech conferences in decades of geekery. Maybe I'm a weird edge case, but I doubt it. If you're interested in this being used for Non-academic / scientific presentations I'd suggest different wording. for the other geeks who don't know what's going on with this "poster" stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poster_session https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poster_session
- Eridrus 7y agoHow are people dealing with publication policies around cancelled conferences? Are conferences still going to have proceedings where the papers are published, or does the work need to be re-submitted elsewhere? If the work is not considered published, will people really want to share their work like this?
