Web Publication Submittals

Submitting Your GA Reports or Presentations for Web Publication

There are several easy ways to deliver your information to us: attach a word document to an email, or alternatively, paste the text of your article/presentation/speech into an email. If you don't have Microsoft Word (we use Word 2000 and Word 98), you can save files as .rtf (rich text format) and send them that way; layout will be preserved. Graphics can be sent as email attachments. We also accept excel (typically, spreadsheets) files, and powerpoint shows, although all documents MUST be clearly labeled and must be able to support your programmatic presentation 'as is' (this means, provide the context for a powerpoint show, not just the unlabeled slides!)

You would typically retain copyright to your work, and should let us know if there are other rights issues. We hope we can post all reasonable submissions of sanctioned GA presentations, though we do set priorities. We appreciate your submission and welcome your comments.

Email

Submit material to the UUA Office of Electronic Communication at GAweb@uua.org. You can almost always use simple procedures called mark (or select), copy, and paste to include plain text (ASCII) in an email. In your email, be sure to include your name and email address, and the event title and Program event number. If your material has formatting that is important to your content, please also leave a copy of the original in the submissions box in the Volunteer Office on site at GA and note on it that you have also emailed a copy to us.

Images

Graphics can be sent in almost any format, though GIF or JPG images are preferred. The simplest, fastest delivery option is usually attaching your graphic(s) to an email. Include a brief note (including your name and email address, and the event title and Program event number) in the regular text section of the email and send it. IBM-formatted 3.5" diskettes can also be submitted; leave them in the submissions box in the Volunteer Office on site.

Copyrights

As author, you retain copyright even though you grant us permission to publish on the UUA website. You may choose to cede copyright to the UUA if that's your preference, but it's not expected. It is your responsibility, of course, not to submit materials encumbered by copyrights of other parties. If you include copyrighted material of others for which you have permission to present, but not to web publish, please be certain we understand which materials should not be used on the web.

The General Assembly Web Staff

The Office of Electronic Communication, the Electronic Communication Committee, and a multitude of volunteers work together to bring General Assembly to the world. Thank you for your help! GA is a huge event, and we appreciate all submissions.  

On site at GA, questions can be asked of anyone wearing a "Web Staff" shirt, or directed to the onsite office, located in the ? Room of the Hilton. Staff members Debbie Weiner, Director of Electronic Communication, and Julie Albanese, Web Designer/Developer, are onsite.
