<p>Hello, UA Colleagues:</p>
<p>I want to be sure this group sees the call for participation for
the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference, which takes place
this October 14-16, 2020, in Santa Clara, California, USA. Do you
want to propose a talk? If so, the deadline is this Friday, March
6, in the UTC-8 timezone.<br>
</p>
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
—Jim DeLaHunt, Vancouver, Canada<br>
