RSS at ACE: What we said we'd talk about

This weblog is to provide a place for information related to two panels that Blair Fannin (TX), Ray Kimsey (NC) and I (Deb Coates) are doing at the ACE 2004 conference in Lake Tahoe, NV on June 21, 2004. Rhonda Conlon, Floyd Davenport, and Kevin Gamble have also been involved in planning for these panels

Program descriptions for the panels are as follows:

RSS Part 1: Using RSS to Deliver & Receive News & Information

RSS is a time saving communication technology that many predict will soon be used by the majority of Internet users. Using RSS, people can choose to be notified when their favorite sites are updated, without getting email or visiting each site. RSS also helps information providers make their resources more readily accessible to their audiences. RSS is widely implemented throughout commercial news sites and is making its way into the Land-Grant system. This session will help communicators understand the significant role that RSS will play in enhancing our ability to share news and information with the public.

RSS Part 2: The Nuts and Bolts

This session is for those who want to learn more about implementations of RSS. It will cover more technical definitions and some of the specific applications, plus offer simple how-to-create details. This session is targeted to those interested in some of the technical aspects of RSS.
