Birds of a Feather Sessions (BOFs)
Throughout the WWW4 conference, rooms will be available for attendees
to define their own mini-conference program. These Birds of a Feather
(BOF) sessions allow people with common interests to gather together
and discuss those issues which may not have fit within the other conference
tracks, or for which an unconstrained discussion is desired.
We have completed the scheduled BOF program. Additional BOF meetings
may be solicited on the conference bulletin board starting on Monday;
rooms will be assigned if available.
Scheduled BOFs
Note: This schedule will change, depending on
the actual availablity and size of rooms. However, we will try to keep
the dates the same for each BOF unless requested otherwise.

Want More?
If your favorite discussion topic is not listed, and you wish to
coordinate an impromptu BOF on that topic at the conference, please let
me know by
sending e-mail to
<fielding@ics.uci.edu>. Please include a brief description
of what will be discussed and at what times it can't be scheduled
(i.e., exclude any times which you know would be bad).
Coordinators are expected to author a Web page describing the topic
area for discussion (we can host it at W3C if desired), provide the
BOF Chair with an estimated number of attendees (so that I can reserve
an appropriately-sized room), and briefly introduce the topic at the
start of the BOF session.
