  abstract =     "Welcome to the first edition of our new E-Quarterly.
                 The volunteers in ACM SIGGRAPH have been quite busy the
                 past several months and I would like to give you a
                 brief progress report on our activities. We have put in
                 a large amount of effort on the new website. It is
                 based on Plone, which is an Open Source Content
                 management system. We plan to offer expanded member
                 services with this system. We have formed a new Digital
                 Arts Committee (DAC), Chaired by Masa Inakage. They are
                 working on a new SIGGRAPH Arts site to help better
                 support the digital artists in our community. This site
                 is currently in beta test and should go live within a
                 few weeks. We have passed two new policies to enable
                 better support for our small conferences. One policy
                 reduces the costs and the other allows for succeeding
                 conferences to use some of the profit from previous
                 conferences. We want to significantly increase the
                 number of small conferences and especially those that
                 are co-located with the annual SIGGRAPH Conference. If
                 you are interested in putting on a small conference
                 please contact our Vice-President, Alyn Rockwood
                 (rockwood (at) siggraph.org) or the Small Conference
                 Coordinator Scott Lang (scott\_lang (at)
                 siggraph.org). This past year we have moved the
                 International Resources Program (IRP) and Committee
                 from a SIGGRAPH Conference Program to an ACM SIGGRAPH
                 Program. This program is under the Vice President who
                 has appointed Kirsten Cater as the IRP Chair. One
                 objective of this transition is to engender more year
                 round activities. Suggestions can be sent to Alyn or
                 Kirsten (kirsten\_cater (at) siggraph.org). Another major
                 effort this year has been in strategic planning. We had
                 an expanded meeting in January that included the
                 Executive Committee (EC), the Conference Advisory Group
                 and several members of the ACM SIGGRAPH Advisory Board.
                 This resulted in the formation of three working groups:
                 1. the structure of the annual SIGGRAPH conference,
                 lead by Rob Cook, 2. member programs and benefits, lead
                 by Mk Haley, and 3.) the structure of ACM SIGGRAPH,
                 lead by Tony Baylis. At the March EC meeting there was
                 more discussion and this was followed by much email
                 discussion. Most of the upcoming June EC meeting will
                 be devoted to this topic. We plan to have draft plans
                 by SIGGRAPH 2006 so we can solicit feedback from our
                 members. I welcome any comments or suggestions so please
                 email me at owen (at) siggraph.org.",
