Dear members of the PODC community,
As part of PODC's 25th Anniversary celebration (afternoon of 23 July
2006), we are planning a "25-year rump session" where students are
invited to give 5-minute "rump session" presentations of selected papers
representative of the kind of work that has come out of PODC.
This is an excellent chance to hone presentation skills, learn something
about PODC's history, and to have fun. Prizes will be awarded for best
presentations, best costumes, best use of props, best use of a foreign
language, and other categories.
The list of representative papers follows. If you would like to present
one, send me ([log in to unmask]) email reserving the one you'd like.
First-come-first-served!)
Oh, and we will cheerfully accept non-student volunteers as well.
