We are pleased to announce that the FLWOR Foundation has joined

The FLWOR foundation is a non-profit organization that supports 
the development of open source software. The purpose is to make 
the Web "programmable". That is, the development of Web-based 
applications should become much simpler. Furthermore, those 
applications should become easier to operate, maintain, and 
extend. To this end, FLWOR develops a new platform for the 
development of Web-based applications. Read more about the 
FLWOR Foundation at: http://www.flworfound.org/

"Balisage: The Markup Conference" is an annual peer-reviewed 
conference designed to meet the needs of markup theoreticians 
and practitioners who are pushing the boundaries of the field. 
Balisage is an XML conference and more. It's all about the markup: 
how to create it; what it means; hierarchies and overlap; 
modeling; taxonomies; transformation; query, searching, and 
retrieval; presentation and accessibility; making systems that 
make markup dance (or dance faster to a different tune in a 
smaller space) - in short, changing the world and the web 
through the power of markup.


Balisage is grateful for the FLWOR Foundation's support.
