[EL] EVT/WOTE 2011 Program available (8/8-9, San Francisco, CA)

[Joseph Lorenzo Hall]

Hi all, The Program for the 2011 Electronic Voting Technology/Workshop
on Trustworthy Elections (EVT/WOTE 2011) has been posted. Lots of
great research results, keynote by Travis County's Dana Debeauvoir,
invited talk by Philip Stark (Berkeley Statistics) and panels on
internet voting moderated by Microsoft's Josh Benaloh and a Sarasota
CD13 post-mortem moderated by Rice's Dan Wallach.

We will also continue the "rump session" tradition, which allows for
preliminary results, half-formed ideas, humorous presentations and
even the occasional voting-related song... all over drinks (serious
stuff comes first, of course).

Please join us. best, Joe
