Work-in-Progress Reports (WiPs)
Thursday, February 17, 3:30 - 4:30 pm
Short, pithy, and fun, Work-in-Progress reports introduce interesting new or
on-going work. Fast paced and spontanious, the WiPs feature new ideas or novel
solutions to old problems. The number of presenters is limited, so reserve your
WiPs slot by sending a note to tcl2kwips@usenix.org. Work-in-Progress
reports are generally five-minute presentations; really interesting work can get
more air time.

The Texas Tcl Shoot-Out
This year the Tcl conference includes a lively coding
competition! A set of programming problems (separate ones for
newbie, intermediate, and expert Tcl hackers) will be
published just prior to the conference and posted the first
day. On the evening of the second day, any submitted code will
be run and judged by Grand Master Tcl programmers, and the
points of style and efficiency on which the judgments are made
will be discussed for pedagogical value. On the final day, a
winner or winners in each category will be announced and will
receive a small Tcl-related prize.

Posters, demonstrations, and presentations of projects or preliminary results
that are appropriate for small groups make up this session. Attendees will
have a chance to hear about exciting projects and talk with the authors about
their work. To submit a poster or demonstration proposal, see the Call for
Papers; the deadline is December 8, 1999.

Applications Show & Tell
Friday, February 18, 11:00am - 12:30pm
The Applications Show & Tell session is a chance for
your bold/original/crazy/cool/huge/tiny Tcl/Tk application
or idea to be seen briefly by your peers. Participants
should prepare one viewgraph (preferably with one or two
screen shots for Tk apps, and a URL if applicable)
and a very brief (2-5 minute) commentary. The focus can
be current work, updates to previous work, grand ideas
for future work, etc.
No app is too small or too large to display. Show the world
what you are doing with Tcl/Tk!
