Repeat CALL FOR PAPERS This announcement is all about deadlines, there are just 4 weeks left in the Call for Papers. Just in case you missed it: about 3 months ago the [4]CfP for HAR2009 asked for interesting presentations, workshops and lectures. There is still opportunity to talk at HAR2009, just send in your proposal before May 1st. When this series of conferences started twenty years ago, the net was new and unexplored terrain where only the bold dared to tread, and where legislation and regulation were absent. That has changed. Today, the net is all round us, spanning the globe. No aspects of our lives remain untouched by digital technology. On HAR2009 the new questions arisen as a result of that revolution will be subject of discussion. The three main tracks revolve around Dealing with data (DD), Decentralization (DeCent) and People and Politics (PNP). The uniting theme is, of course, technology. Explicitly sollicited are any talks, workshops or other activities that are about pure, hard technology. But, don’t be afraid to submit anything of a less technical nature, maybe just skirting the fringes of technology. But, remember, _all_ talks and workshops should definetely be interesting and knowledgeable, hopefully be groundbreaking, and possibly, fun. Your proposals may be submitted to our paper submission system on [5]https://pentabarf.har2009.org/submission/HAR2009, and are due May 1st, 2009. If you have any questions regarding your submission or the submission system (pentabarf) be sure to bother [6]the speakerdesk! Field Day April 18th Just in case you missed it in the previous announcement: everyone is invited to join the HAR2009 terrain tour on april 18th. So far, 40 people from 5 different countries and representing at least 9 villages have signed up to join the sight-seeing. Now that spring has come, we are in for a lush green Paasheuvel, the area in Vierhouten where HAR2009 will take place. If you are in any way curious about where the event will be, make sure to join. And if you are into parallel kingdom, maybe you can already stake out some flags! For more information, including the exact times and coordinates as well as car-pools, please consult [7]the wiki.
