Bcc: ATEP
Hi All..
You are receiving this message because you are enrolled in CS846
Advanced Topics in Electronic Publishing. I have trimmed the e-mail
list to those who are enrolled as of 16 May 2021.
The course Web site is up to date now, as of Thursday's recording
session: . Note that the date
of the course is "Spring/Summer 2021".
The site will continue to be updated as the term progresses.
The site has my slides, stuff that is public domain, stuff that I have
permssion to post, and URLs pointing to materials at other sites. The
URLs, particularly of published journal articles, conference articles,
and books, should be exercised from within the University of Waterloo
Library, where you can sign on with your watIam credentials. Then, you
should not have to pay for a download.
I will occasionally be sending you via sendit, zip files that expand
into directories containing materials that I cannot put at the Web
site, for public download, because they are copyrighted. These are for
YOUR use and are not to be posted or shared. Thank you for honoring
this request.
The next 2 recording sessions are Tue 18 and Thu 20 May at 9:00 on
Zoom:
In fact, this invitation is active until the end of the term.
We will finish up traditional typography and move on to phototypestting and
then digital typography.
I note that one of you has already started to pin down a topic for his
project.
Hasta Martes

Subject: CS 846: ATEP Materials, not for Posting or Redistribution.
Bcc: ATEP
Hi All..
Sigh.. I cannot get sendit to work.
Please go ASAP to
and download the 4 zip files there, about Traditional Typography, Photo
Typography, Digital Typography, and Formatting.
ONCE you have downloaded, PLEASE let me know that you have done so. I
will remove them from the site either when I have heard from ALL of you
or Tuesday 18 May at 12:00 EDT, which ever comes first.
These are the materials for the lectures already given and the lectures
that are coming up that I cannot post at the Web site. Save them so
that you will have them locally when I use them in my lectures. Some of
the items in the unzipped directories ARE at the Web site because I own
them or the owner gives permission, but I include them in the zips for
completeness.
Enjoy
Dan

Subject: CS 846: Your Project AND Next ATEP Sessions on Tu and Th 1 and 3 June
Bcc: ATEP
Hi All..
Time's a'flowing and a'wasting. You need to choose a project that you will
do and report on to the class and in a paper submitted to me.
From the course Website:
Each student has to do the following:
1. Do one of
* a project, implementing or specifying something related to EP or
* research about something related to EP.
2. Write a conference-sized paper about the project or research.
3. Give a 30-minute talk based on the paper so that the whole class benefits
from it, and the prof has one less lecture to do :-).
Please get your project or report topic approved by the prof before going
to far into it, to make sure that it will be acceptable.
The due date for the project or report is Thursday 5 August.
Your talk will be sometime in July during one of the class sessions.
The next 2 recording sessions are Tue 1 and Thu 3 June at 9:00 on Zoom:
In fact, this invitation is active until the end of the term.
We will continue with formatting.

Subject: CS 846: Recording Sessions THIS Week Tue and Thu 8 and 10 June
Bcc: ATEP
Hi All..
I still have not heard from some of you about your project. See below
my signature.
I thought that I was going to be attending a virtual conference in
Europe during the normal time of our recording sessions. So I announced
at the end of last Thursday's recording session that there would not be
any recording sessions this week.
It turns out that the conference is in OUR afternoon, not OUR morning.
So it is unnecessary to skip our recording sessions this week.
Let's skip Tuesday's session, so that you have more time to work on
your project :-).
But there WILL be a recording session on Thursday 10 June at 9:00am at
the usual zoom link.
Hasta Jueves

Subject: CS 846: ATEP Student Lectures
Bcc: ATEP
Hi All
You are 13 students. With two students giving their talks in one recording
session, we will need 7 recording sessions at the end of the term.
The last session is on Wednesday 4 August, which is designated as a Thusday
to make up for the lack of class on 1 July, Canada Day!!!!!
The second last session is Thursday 29 July. Before that, they are all on
Tuesdays and Thursdays.
So the possible dates for your presentation are:
04 Aug (Wed)
29 Jul
27 Jul
22 Jul
20 Jul
15 Jul
13 Jul
The trade off is that
the earlier your talk
+ the more time you in which to use feedback from your talk in preparing
your written report
- the less time you have to prepare your talk
+ the fewer other talks I have against which to compare yours
the later your talk
- the less time you in which to use feedback from your talk in preparing
your written report
+ the more time you have to prepare your talk
- the more other talks I have against which to compare yours
I need from EACH of you ranked BIDS for dates.
I will allocate 2 per date in FIFO order, as perceived by my e-mail box!
If I exhaust your list of BIDs, I will pick some LATER date, if I
can, unless you tell me a different scheme, e.g., to pick an EARLIER date.

You will find the schedule for the student lectures at

that you get to if you click on "To Go Directly to the Topics List" at
the top of the page. In this table, you will find the dates and times
of the lectures, and for each date and time, the name of the student
talking, and his or her topic, if known. Please reply to me with any
corrections and additions, particularly of the topic. Eventually, your
slides and a video of your talk will be put there.
For the foreseeable future, I will continue with the multilingual
formatting topic.

Hi All
Next week starts the graduate student lecture phase of the course. See
for the
schedule of lectures, particularly for a reminder of WHEN you will be
giving YOURS.
If you get me a draft of your slides in PDF form at least 4 days in
advance of your talk, I will give you feeback by 2 days in advance.
For a Tuesday morning talk, the deadline is the Friday before at 9:00
am EDT. You will have the feedback by the Sunday before at 9:00 am
EDT.
For a Thursday morning talk, the deadline is the Sunday before at 9:00
am EDT. You will have the feedback by the Tuesday before at 9:00 am

You do not have to take advantage of this offer. You can just give your

but cannot promise that I will get you feedback in time.
No matter what, I need the PDF of your slides to put at the course
Website by 5pm EDT of the evening before your talk.
See you Tuesday, when I will continue with Unicode.

* If you DO take advantage of my offer for feedback, please make sure
* that you pay attention to it. I don't expect you to agree with all of
* my comments, particularly those on substantive issues, for which you
* have good reasons to believe that I am wrong. However, there should be
* no dispute about the comments about English language mistakes in your
* slides. I cannot help but feel that I have wasted my time when I see
* that none of my comments, even the indisputable ones about language
* mistakes, have been acted upon. My feeling this way about your work
* cannot help you when I have to determine your mark.
No matter what, I need the PDF of your slides to put at the course
Website by 5pm EDT of the evening before your talk.
