Slides are permitted but not obligatory, but pictures are highly recommended! Typical topics for WIPs might include new open source software projects, specific works in progress for future releases of existing projects, student projects, or other new and interesting things. WIP topics this year may make good conference papers for next year! A one hour time slot is available for WIPs, so the number of slots is limited! Sign up well in advance to be assured a spot. Please e- mail papers@bsdcan.org to sign up -- send a one or two paragraph summary of the topic to be presented, and the person(s) presenting it. Also, please give a time estimate -- typically times will be one to five minutes. The time limit will be strictly enforced. The WIP e- mail registration deadline is May 6, after which remaining slots (if any) may be signed up for in person. Any slides must be provided in advance, in PDF, Open Office, or Powerpoint format. The WIP session will be chaired by Robert Watson. The deadline for slides is midnight Friday 13 May 2005 and they should be sent to rwatson@FreeBSD.org.
