[Athen] [EXT] Re: CSUN & Coronavirus

[Christopher Phillips]

In case it is helpful to anyone I am keeping a list of sessions that have been cancelled and other resources:

http://bit.ly/csunatc20

So far there are 30 presentations where the presenter has offered to do their presentation remotely. Feel free to add yours to the list if you are interested in sharing your material remotely, as a recorded session or even just the slides.

If you go to the csun conference main page, there is stuff there. It hasn't been updated since Wednesday.  I am told that cancelations are on the schedule addendum, but haven't looked it up yet. I read elsewhere that 120 sessions have already been canceled, but don't know if this is true.

Hello All:
I see quite a number of companies - Deque, Microsoft, Verizon, Pearson, Amazon, Adobe, CapitolOne - have pulled out of attending CSUN because of Coronavirus. And the latest cancellation is Teach Access.
A WAI working group meeting I was scheduled to attend has also been cancelled.
Just gauging other folks thoughts on this as I contemplate whether to change my plans.
