=SMWCon Spring 2015 Final Call for Contributions=

This is a reminder that the deadline for contributions to SMWCon is Wednesday, 
April 22nd.

We are inviting you to submit your contributions to help collect and put 
together the conference program. We’ve started to rough in our schedule and 
would love to have a diverse group of speakers. Submit your proposed talk today!

==Call for Contributions==

Talks could be about anything related to semantics, wikis, or yes semantic 
wikis! We welcome new contributions on the use of semantic wikis in different 
industries and the development and proposal of new tools in and around the 
semantic wiki community.

You can propose your contributions on the conference website 
(http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMWCon_Spring_2015) in form of regular 
talks or short lightning talks. All submitted proposals will be reviewed and we 
will do our best to consider your proposal in the conference program. If you've 
already announced your talk it's now time to expand its description.

We are also looking for folks to help us with our tutorial day. We’re looking 
for presentations on the basics of Semantic MediaWiki and related extensions. 
The deadline is April 22nd, but we encourage submissions, even in a draft form, 
as soon as possible to help with planning.

Please note that all tutorials and presentations will be video and audio 
recorded and made available for others after the conference.

Please add yourself to the informal list of attendees if you’d like to attend.
