Subject: Re: Any ideas for candidates for HOPL-III?

James,

Are you sure we can still submit?  It listed some dates for paper
submission last year.  Unless a paper could be automatically put into
the second round, I think we missed our chance as a community.  I'd be
interested in writing about Ruby -- with some help of course >_<

"Authors should submit a 1 page abstract by July 8, 2005. Full papers
for the first round are due on August 15, 2005, with notification to
authors in January 2006. Second round submissions will be due in August
2006, with notification to authors in January 2007. Camera ready copy
will be due in March 2007. Authors of accepted papers will be required
to sign ACM copyright release forms."
