I've met some of you in past years (it's great to see some of the long-term contributions that you're making!) and will be meeting some of you (virtually, at least) for the first time this year.  So before you get the 'standard' email, I thought I'd let you know what to expect in the coming weeks.

All of the Knowledge Sharing articles accepted for publication will be compiled into our 2009 Book of Abstracts (see the 2008 version here, just click on the Book of Abstracts link on the Articles tab).  I edit each abstract  to keep the format consistent, then send it to you for approval.  The approval is just to make sure that I haven't inadvertently changed your meaning or your 'voice.'  I always hope that I'm able to provide a nice, finishing touch.

The Book of Abstracts will be available online after EMC World; I'll post the link when available (sometime after May 20).

From there, we move on to the article publishing phase.  It begins with posting the publication schedule; we usually publish 4 or 5 articles a month but I'll make sure each author knows where to find the schedule.  Then, onto editing the articles.  Can't tell you how much I love reading all of our work!  I do have the best job and I feel as though I get to know each of you.

So, it will be a few weeks before you hear from me personally, but you will!
