Hi all,
based on Ignacio's existing document for the last conference I have put
together a first draft of the call for papers, attached. (I hope it goes
through the list as it's <200KB here.)
Please check the contents of the call in general, for example if the
described idea of the "coding sprint" is appropriate and practical, and the
dates given in general. This general check would be especially important for
the central players Ioannis and Allin.
Also there are some "fixme" places in the document with some of your names;
so Jack, Oleh, and Ignacio, please respond whether the respective part of the
document should be changed or if it is OK.
It would be nice if you could answer before the holidays.
I like this.
I had also been thinking (independently) that I could use the Xmas period
to upload new packages for MGARCH models and some micro stuff.
There's only one thing I'd like to add, but I don't know if at all
possible.
A huge incentive for people to submit papers to conferences is that they
have a better chance to get published in a decent journal, or at least end
up in a "proceedings" volume. Ignacio had this set up for the Bilbao
Conference, I remember. Can we do anything similar? I'm pretty sure this
would boost participation.
