-------------------------------------------------
:: LI ACM SIGGRAPH is the Long Island chapter of
ACM SIGGRAPH, an international organization of computer graphics
professionals, students and other interested bystanders. Our members
live and/or work in Nassau and Suffolk Counties on the beautiful
fish-shaped island that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean east of
New York City.
Our
purpose is to foster local interest and promote local activities
that fit within the scope of the main ACM SIGGRAPH organization-and
to have a really good excuse to hang out together once a month or
so and talk about stuff other people don't understand. It makes
us feel superior.
OK,
thanks..but what is ACM SIGGRAPH?
Oh, that. ACM stands for "Association for Computing Machinery."
SIGGRAPH stands for "Special Interest Group in Computer Graphics"...but
really, you don't need to know that, we're not going to test you
or anything.
Their
mission: to boldly go where no man has....oops, sorry.
SIGGRAPH's
mission is to promote the generation, acquisition, dissemination
and exchange of information and opinion on the theory, design, implementation
and application of computer graphics and interactive techniques
to facilitate communication and understanding.
That's
from the main SIGGRAPH website, which has lots
of other information and cool stuff about computer graphics. Here's
the link if you want to visit their
site.
