== Events and Publications ==

In 2010, the FSMNLP 2009 workshop published its '''postproceedings''' i.e. the revised and selected papers in the series of Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI/LNCS) by Springer (publication year 2010).

In 2010, SIGFSM held the first '''elections'''.

A '''special issue''' in the journal of Natural Language Processing received submissions in June 2010 and the special issue was sent to the publisher in November 2010. The issue came out as the number 2 issue in 2011.

The '''workshop''': In the summer 2010, plans for a joint event of the FSMNLP workshop and the Conference on Implementations and Applications of Automata was prepared. The current web location for the joint event is http://ciaa-fsmnlp-2011.univ-tours.fr/ciaa/. The event FSMNLP 2011 is taking place in Blois, France on 12-16 (12-15) July, 2011.

The FSMNLP continues it collaborative tradition which allows relating to the related events:
CIAA/FSMNLP 2010 will be organized shortly before two other conferences on related subjects: DLT 2011 (July 19-22, Milan, Italy) and DCFS 2011 (July 25-27, Giessen, Germany).

The prior plans for '''proceedings archive and future publication policies''' have been followed:
* A lot of efforts for establishing open access publication channels for FSMNLP were done. Various issues were contacted (the team work involved the workshop chairs, PC chair and the president and possibly others)
* The papers and abstracts will be published in FSMNLP 2011 proceedings and archived in the ACL Anthology.
* The FSMNLP organizers managed to secure a special issue of the Journal of Logic and Computation (Oxford Univ. Press, http://logcom.oxfordjournals.org/ ) for papers presented at FSMNLP 2011 and IWPT 2011 ( http://www.dcu.ie/conferences/iwpt/ ).

Two '''tutorials''' will be organized in the FSMNLP workshop:
* Eric Laporte, LIGM, Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée, France: "Tutorial on Unitex" (http://www-igm.univ-mlv.fr/~unitex/)
* Jacques Sakarovitch, Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, Paris, France: "Tutorial on Vaucanson" (http://www.lrde.epita.fr/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Vaucanson/WebHome)
