Pay attention: the places are limited so do not wait till the last minute to apply. Conference details: Send an email to stephane.ducasse at inria.fr and serge.stinckwich at gmail.com with: title: [ESUG 2018 Student] name, gender, university/school, country, email address short description of you and why you are interested in participating For which period is accommodation covered? Accommodation is covered from Sunday 9 to 15, September 2018 (including nights from Sunday to Monday and from Thursday to Friday). Students will be hosted in student rooms. ESUG additionally covers for the lunches during the week and one dinner. Duties include handling registration as people arrive at the conference, filling coffee machines, collecting presentation slides for ESUG right after the presentation is given, being present at an information desk to answer questions, and generally being helpful.

About excellent quality screen capture
by Stéphane Ducasse May 17, 2018

May 17, 2018

Hi potential ESUG presenters We acquire a device to capture screen for the presentations that you will do at ESUG. This device requires a HDMI output from your computer and with this we will be able to produce gorgeous videos of your talk. So you will be able to do nice coding sessions and graphical presentations. So get ready.
