    Greetings all,

    Last fall (2001) I started to collect information about NLP and CL
    researchers in Latin America. There was quite a bit of response and
    interest, so it seemed like having a more organized means of
    collecting and providing this information would be useful.

    We have created a web site where folks who are located in or are
    originally from Latin America can register and provide information about
    themselves and their research.

    http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/registry/registry.cgi

    We just put the site up Nov 22 so there are only a few entries thus far,
    but hopefully that will increase over time. Please come browse around -
    we hope that this will be an interesting and useful resource.

    Below is a note I've started mailing around announcing the site. I'd
    be grateful if you could forward this to interested colleagues, and
    of course register if you are in or from Latin America!

    Thanks!
    Ted

    Dear Colleague,

    I am happy to announce the creation of the Registry of Latin American
    Researchers in Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics.

    http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/registry/registry.cgi

    The objective of the Registry is to provide a centralized source of
    information for and about students, professors, researchers, and
    practitioners in Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics
    who currently reside in Latin America. If this describes you, or if you
    are originally from Latin America but living elsewhere, please take a
    moment to register.

    The creation of the Registry is a part of the Latin American outreach
    activities of the North American chapter of the Association for
    Computational Linguistics ( NAACL ). Our hope is that the Registry will
    help promote Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics
    research being carried out in Latin America. In addition, we want to
    encourage further collaboration among researchers within Latin America and
    with the rest of the world.

    Thanks very much for your help. Please spread the word about the our new
    Registry of Latin American Researchers in Natural Language Processing and
    Computational Linguistics!
