10-ICAL Conference

A couple of months ago, I mentioned a website that I was working on for a linguistics conference that was happening here in the Philippines. The conference finished up last week, and it went really well. My jobs were to download the papers that were being presented, create a conference CD, help with any technical problems that our 160+ presenters might have, and be of general assistance when available.

It was a really busy time, but very rewarding. I found out first-hand that our SIL linguists are highly respected in the linguistics community, and that many people reference their work. Of course, I barely understood what these people were talking about (click here for a list of all the presentations given--if you understand more than half of the titles, I'd be very impressed!)
