I find all these academic call for papers/abstracts/submissions emails on this mailing list a bit spammy.
I would be okay with them if the person mailing introduced it with a sentence or two why they believe it to be specifically interesting for the Wikidata community.
Am I just grumpy and should delete and ignore, or do you too think we should introduce some guidelines for this?
We had this debate on some w3c lists,
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/2016Mar/0108.html
compromise-conclusion:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lod/2016May/0032.html
(the posts jumble up names of 2 related lists but the result was same onboth)
""" Following that survey, the majority view is that:
1. CfPs are not welcome on this (public-lod@w3.org <public-lod@w3.org?Subject=Re%3A%20Calls%20for%20participation%20no%20longer%20allowed&In-Reply-To=%3Cb3f1b852-c11b-6652-1277-f9583a3087b3%40w3.org%3E&References=%3Cb3f1b852-c11b-6652-1277-f9583a3087b3%40w3.org%3E>) list.
2. *Some* CfPs are tolerable on semantic-web@w3.org <semantic-web@w3.org?Subject=Re%3A%20Calls%20for%20participation%20no%20longer%20allowed&In-Reply-To=%3Cb3f1b852-c11b-6652-1277-f9583a3087b3%40w3.org%3E&References=%3Cb3f1b852-c11b-6652-1277-f9583a3087b3%40w3.org%3E>, especially if the string '[CfP]' appears in the subject line (for personal filtering).
I will write to the semantic-web list separately but for this list the rule is simple:
Calls for participation are not allowed on this list.
No exceptions.
None.
This is in line with other lists maintained by W3C that do not allow such posts.
Any future calls for participation posted to this list will be treated as spam"""
