Warpstock 2006 Proposed Planning Schedule:

2. April 2006. Posting on the Warpstock 2006 site of confirmed 
Presenters and Sessions along with the extensive Social Program.Note: 
Tentative timetabling only at this time, ie Thursday +/ Friday lumped 
together.We will have a 'named by email' open vote by eComStation user 
to identify the sessions they want most 1st, 2nd, 3rd,... to least.These 
will be matrixed and evaluated for popularity and` minimization of 
conflicts.This should address the only major complaint from Warpstock 2005.
3. May 01, 2006, voting ends and the Warpstock 2006 timetable will be 
constructed.Presenters who commit after this process will have to accept 
whatever time slots are available. We will, however, try to accommodate 
everyone. 4. June 01, 2006. Final Announcement of the Technical and 
Social Program Details (subject to adjustments of course).Registration 
will open for both.  Warpstock 2006 promotions begin with the awesome 
sessions you have helped us put together.

Proposed Warpstock 2006 Schedule
There will be both a technical program and a social program.
The technical program will follow the form used at recent Warpstocks 
with intensive sessions on Thursday and Friday and shorter presentations 
on Saturday and Sunday.
The social program is tentatively planned to have on Thursday, a tour of 
Hiram Walker (Canada Club Brand) and either a dine-around on Erie Street 
(Italian restaurants) or a dinner at a 'Canadian' restaurant. On Friday, 
it is hoped to confirm a tour of an automotive manufacturing plant. On 
Saturday I am arranging a tour of Henry Ford Greenfield Museum, and IMAX 
move, and dinner in Dearborn Michigan.
These items are currently under negotiation but are mentioned so you are 
aware of what is planned.
The following form is intended to carry information through a process of 
Nomination, Confirmation, and Website Posting, andfinally, the creation 
of the Warpstock 2006 Program.
Step 1: A Nominator should complete the Form, about a Presenter and 
potential topic and forward itto the Presentation Coordinator for 
coordination. .For a second or third topic of presentation please copy 
and complete an additional Form .
Step 2: The Program Chair will send the form with instructions tothe 
Presenter for completion of the remaining details and acceptance by the 
Presenter. Step 3: The Program Chair will then post the Presenter's 
information on the Warpstock.org website.
It is hoped that these exchanges will be completed by Mid-July allowing 
for creation of the Warpstock 2005 schedule.This will permit attendees 
to know what is offered on a particular day or time when they 
register.Hopefully this will encourage attendance.
