Call for Submissions
================

The success of the World Wide Web depends on its developers. From
Hypertext and Web Browsers to the APIs that extend the capabilities of
the Web, developers have played a very important role in making the Web
as ubiquitous as it is today. To celebrate this great driving force
behind the Web, we are rebooting the Developers Day at the World Wide
Web Conference.

The Developers Day will be forum for developers by developers where
cutting edge Web technologies will be discussed. The program consists of
a round of lightning talks followed by Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions
where attendees will be able to get an in-depth look at the software
presented in the form of a hands-on tutorial as well as a discussion of
open challenges, next steps, and application areas.

We are soliciting submissions from developers who have interesting
open-source software to showcase to the Web developer community. The
program will have a special focus on implementations, methods,
techniques, and how developers have solved practical problems on the
Web. The software must be based on an implemented and tested system that
pursues one or more innovative ideas in the interest areas of the
conference.

Submissions should clearly identify the following:
* The purpose of the software that shows innovative use of technology
* The potential to advance the state of the art of the Web
* Real-world applications of the software
* Link(s) to where the software can be downloaded and/or can be tried
out (e.g. github.com)
* Link(s) to a comprehensive tutorial and/or documentation outlining how
to use the software

Submissions that do not specify where the software can be downloaded or
tried out, and/or do not include a tutorial or documentation will not be
accepted. At least one author of each accepted submission must register
for and attend the Developers Day.

Proceedings and Awards
===================

Each accepted submission will be allocated no more than two pages in the
conference proceedings. Authors are not required to transfer copyright.
In addition, there will be awards for the most impactful software, best
tutorial, and the best developer engagement given at the Developers Day.

Submission Instructions
=======================

Submissions must be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings
template and are limited to two pages. It is the authors responsibility
to ensure that their submissions adhere strictly to the required format.
