Want the geekiest Christmas present ever?
How about a week packed with long monologues/conversations about the caves, mazes and plumbing that underlie publishing, business and government?
How about a pair of tickets (you and your “other”) to Montreal for the Balisage 2011 conference?!
Previously seen at Balisage conferences:
Michael Kay, who became editor of XSLT/XPath, so he could write another book. (Note to Michael: Lots of people write books without first writing standards.)
Steve Newcomb, beloved by all, understood by, well, that is a somewhat shorter list. (Check at the Balisage registration desk. We’ll leave a note.)
Ken Holman, who is reformatting the world’s business documents, one country at a time. (Ken will soon have a permanent booth at the UN.)
Jon Bosak, who specializes in helping businesses he isn’t working for, work better. (Wait, there’s something wrong with that. It’s true, but seems unnatural.)
Michael Sperberg-McQueen, the markup world’s answer to Paladin, “HAVE MARKUP WILL TRAVEL.” (Why a joker on his business card? You’ll have to ask him.)
