ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Extreme is an open marketplace of theories about markup and all the
things
that they support or that support them: the difficult cases in
publishing,
linguistics, transformation, searching, indexing, storage and
retrieval,
the things you wish you could do in XML so much that you're thinking
of
creating your own markup system. At Extreme, markup enthusiasts gather
each year to trade in ideas, not to convince management to buy new
stuff.
Extreme actively seeks controversy, not just the same old applications.

WHEN: August 7-11, 2006
