Dear GPCers, OPCers, PLBers, XPCers:

All the Results That Fit:

The 1997 GPC News Production Schedule

Based on recommendations from the February 1997 meetings, below is a proposed schedule for the on-line GPC News. In general, submissions are due at the end of the first week of odd-numbered months. The updated Web site goes public during the first week of even-numbered months.

A couple of notes: A new field has been added called "Vendors Resubmit." This was added based on agreement at the February meeting that vendors will be responsible for providing accurate submissions. Vendors will be notified of submissions that cause problems when being converted to HTML, and they will be expected to correct the problems and resubmit during the time period indicated between "Web Conversion" and "Vendors Resubmit" on the schedule. Also, please note the accelerated schedule for the August issue. This is required so that we can have an updated GPC News ready for SIGGRAPH '97.

As agreed in the February meetings, hardcopy issues of the GPC News will be published in February, June, August and December.
