Call for Steering Committee Elections

The steering committee (SC) of VISSOFT opens three positions for new members. By this, we aim to refresh the SC with motivated and energetic people who will take over the task of directing the VISSOFT conference during the upcoming years to reflect the many developments and trends in the dynamic field of software visualization.

Following the VISSOFT charter, the new members will be chosen by open elections, from the participants to this year's edition. The elections will be organized after the closing session, Monday, September 28, 17:30. We invite all VISSOFT participants to attend the elections session to propose candidates, stand up for election, and vote for their candidates of choice. Additionally, the meeting will offer a chance to all do discuss impressions on the VISSOFT conference and propose ideas for further improvement.
