Future Programming Workshop FAQs
Is this workshop only about programming languages?
We welcome ideas about languages, development environments,
analysis tools, methodologies, paradigms, or anything else
that could benefit the future of programming.
Is there a mailing list I can join for announcements before I
submit?
Yes you can register
here.
What are the requirements on the video file?
We ask that you upload your screencast to
Vimeo. They will take care of
transcoding most video formats. You must enable the video for downloading so
that we can make a copy at the submission deadline.
Can I post my video publicly?
Yes, but we advise against it. Think of your submission as a first draft.
After presenting and workshopping your demo you will have a chance to
submit a final revised version by December 1. That is the version you want to
publish. To keep your submission private
set the Vimeo privacy settings to allow only the user
Future Programming Workshop
to view and download your video.
Can I submit a paper instead?
No.
I'm too old to learn how to do a screencast.
You pretty much just click the record button and do your demo as
usual on your laptop.
What screencast software do you recommend?
We have had good results with both
Camtasia and
ScreenFlow.
The free open source
VLC
is said to work on Windows/Mac/Linux but we haven't tried it.
Can I present a slide deck?
You can include slides in your presentation but we strongly suggest
that you also demo some running code.
What rights do I have to assign to the workshop to publish my
screencast?
TBD.
Can I revise my screencast after it has been published?
No. We intend to permanently archive all published artifacts.
However you can provide a link to your home page for further developments.
Will my published screencast get a DOI?
TBD.
