Awards/SIGPLAN Town Hall Meeting
summary
SIGPLAN reports spending $200,000 a year on travel grants for about 40 students per conference, offers gold open access paid for authors when needed, and asks nominations with awards deadlines on January 15. An empirical-evaluation subcommittee audits top papers, publishes a 7-point checklist with 22 anti-patterns now recommended in PLDI/POPL calls, and treats it as a living document. A climate committee targets a 40% cut by 2030 via local venues, co-location, offsets (~$30 for a US flight), more streaming and virtual PC meetings.
