[UA-discuss] 45th Internationalization & Unicode Conference – Call for Participation (deadline 19 March)

Tue Mar 9 20:09:13 UTC 2021

Hello, UA Colleagues:

I want to be sure this group sees the call for participation for the 
Internationalisation and Unicode Conference, which takes place this 
October 13-15, 2021, in Santa Clara, California, USA. Do you want to 
propose a talk? If so, the deadline is next Friday, March 19, in the 
UTC-8 timezone.

Many of you know the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference. For 
those who don't, it is a gathering of those who define The Unicode 
Standard for text, as well as architects of fonts, text rendering, and 
beyond that into software engineering aspects of internationalisation 
and localisation.  About 100% of the audience are solidly in favour of 
the values and goals of Universal Acceptance. However, much fewer than 
100% know what the Universal Acceptance Group does, and what the current 
successes and obstacles are.  I think Universal Acceptance should not be 
absent from this conference.

If anyone has questions about this conference, I have been attending for 
many years, and I would be happy to answer them. Others on this list are 
probably even more expert than I am.

Best regards,
       —Jim DeLaHunt, software engineer, Vancouver, Canada

As we continue to navigate our way through COVID-19 protocols, we are 
starting to finally see some light at the end of the tunnel! With 
ever-increasing awareness, better understanding, more established 
community policies, as well as accelerating vaccination efforts, 
companies are starting to once again plan for 2021 face-to-face events. 
IUC 45 will be no different. We will continue to monitor the severity of 
the COVID crisis moving forward and shift to alternate planning if 
necessary. As for now, the goal is to see everyone face to face in Santa

internationalization, ignite new ideas, and showcase the latest
