MarkLogic will be well represented at Balisage 2011. Not only are we sponsoring the conference once again (and hosting a Chinese banquet, including a dinner conversation game that should be a lot of fun), but a bunch of us will be there to geek out with the rest of you. Jason Hunter, Mary Holstege, and John Snelson will all be there, and three of us will be speaking, with these topics:

• Erik Hennum (with Vyacheslav Zholudev) on "Tag Libraries for XSLT and XQuery"
• Norman Walsh on "What will it take to get (end user) XML editors that people will use?"
• Evan Lenz on "Carrot: An appetizing hybrid of XQuery and XSLT"

It should be a lot of fun. I hope to see you there!
