Probably. Morning comes late these days, evening too soon, and the air has a long forgotten crispness about it. As Doc Searls put it so eloquently, OSIS. In the fall, one’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of…markup, of course! (With apologies to Tennyson and everyone in the southern hemisphere.) In particular, it’s time to start preparing for XML 2004. The conference has been moved into November, mercifully farther away from the winter holiday crush, so it’s even more important to start planning now. I’m delighted that the conference schemas this year are DocBook-based and if DocBook is part of your plans, let me plug role='shameless' recommend DocBook: From Syntax to Publication by yours truly. plug Irrespective of whether you want to listen to me or not, you do not want to miss this conference. And no, before you ask, the irony of giving a DocBook tutorial on the last day of the conference on the first year in which the submission schemas are based on DocBook is not lost on me. If my crystal ball was any good, I’d have given this tutorial last year! Ah, well, think of it as really advanced planning for XML 2005!
