Welcome to the Scheme workshop online survey!

The Scheme workshop steering committee is conducting this survey to get a better understanding of the Scheme community and their intention to participate in the 2009 Scheme workshop and subsequent Scheme workshops. Our goal is to choose a location, a time, a call for papers and a technical program that will increase the number of submissions and the level of participation, without compromising the quality of the workshop.

We appreciate your help in completing this survey. It should take no more than 5 minutes.

To avoid vandalism and abuse of this survey, we request your email address and that you correctly answer a simple skill testing question. Your email and name will not be revealed publicly.

*** THE SURVEY DEADLINE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO SUNDAY NOVEMBER 2 AT MIDNIGHT ***
