+\begin{itemize}
+\item Do you like programming challenges?
+\item Are you interested in how your language really works?
+\item Would you like to try and build a computational grammar for your language,
+ and make it available as a part of an international open-source
+ programming effort?
+\end{itemize}
+
+Then you should consider attending the GF Resource Grammar Summer School
+in Gothenburg on 17-28 August 2009.
+
+The GF Resource Grammar Library is an open-source computational grammar
+resource that currently covers 12 languages. It has been created in
+a collaborative effort using the GF (Grammatical Framework) grammar formalism.
+The Summer School aims to boost the extension of the library to new languages.
+
+Particularly in focus are the missing 12 of the 23 official languages of the
+European Union: \textit{Czech, Dutch,
+Estonian, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Latvian, Lithuanian,
+Maltese, Portuguese, Slovak, and Slovenian}. There is also more work to
+be done on Polish and Romanian.
+Any other languages chosen by the participants are also welcome.
+Good knowledge of the language is essential, but you don't need to be a
+native speaker.
+
+The linguistic coverage of the library includes the inflectional morphology
+and basic syntax of each language. It can be used for parsing,
+generation, translation, multilingual web pages,
+speech recognition, dialogue systems, language teaching, morphological
+analysis, software localization, and lots of other things.
+Grammars written in GF can be converted to many different formats.
+The library is licensed under LGPL.
+
+In the summer school, each language will be implemented by one or two students
+working together. A morphology implementation will be credited
+as a Chalmers University
+course worth 7.5 ETCS points; adding a syntax implementation
+will be worth more. The estimated total work load is 1-2 months for the
+morphology, and 3-6 months for the whole grammar.
+
+Participation in the summer school is free.
+Registration is via the courses's Google group,
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ http://groups.google.com/group/gf-resource-school-2009/
+\end{verbatim}
+The registration deadline is 15 June 2009. An on-line course on GF (recommended,
+but not compulsory) starts on 20 April.
+
+Some travel grants will be available. They are distributed on the basis of a
+GF programming contest in May.
