Administrivia: Spam excised from the archive (was: Enhancing Performance with Edge Computing)
by Jeremy Stanley 06 Aug '24

06 Aug '24

Just a heads up that we removed two messages from the archive and blocked the offending subscriber. They seem to be engaging in an "organic SEO" scheme where they post seemingly on-topic questions in various online forums while embedding keyword-adjacent links to a particular company's products and services. It was not someone seeking actual information on this group's activities and so there is no reason to reply to them. We'll try to keep an eye out for any similar sorts of spam in the future. Apologies for the noise! -- Jeremy Stanley

Manuscripts are submitted in PDF format and may not exceed ten (10) ACM-formatted *double-column* pages, including figures, tables, and references. All manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer-review process and will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, rigor in analysis, quality of results, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees. Your submission is subject to a determination that you are not under any sanctions by ACM. Accepted papers will later be converted into single-column format through the ACM TAPS process and therefore need to use the new templates that are single-column by default. Switch them to double-column for authoring your paper. This is possible in both the Word and the LaTeX templates. At least one author of each paper must be registered for the conference in order for the paper to be published in the proceedings. The conference proceedings will be published by the ACM and made available online via the IEEE Xplore Digital Library and ACM Digital Library. IMPORTANT DATES Time zone: Anywhere in the world!

Participating in the virtual PTG in April - FEEDBACK NEEDED
by Ildiko Vancsa 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

Hi All, I’m reaching out to you about the next virtual Project Teams Gathering (PTG)[1] event, which will take place April 8-12, 2024. The PTG is a contributor-focused event, where project teams and working groups get together to discuss topics that are relevant for them. Topics include roadmap planning and priorities, long outstanding feature or enhancements discussions, release planning, and more. The Edge Computing Group has been participating in these events for a while now, it is a great opportunity to extend our meeting time and go deeper into topics that are important for us. We can also use this to facilitate cross-community collaboration with OpenInfra and adjacent communities. __The team sign-up deadline is February 18 at 700UTC.__ Are y’all interested in participating in the event this round again? Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó [1] PTG Site: https://openinfra.dev/ptg/ ——— Ildikó Váncsa Director of Community Open Infrastructure Foundation
