Upload Your Talk

UVa collab

All registered speakers of SPIN2008 are encouraged to upload their talk before the conference.  Recommended file formats are: Microsoft Powerpoint, PDF, or Postscript.  A worksite is created specifically for SPIN2008 talk uploading using the UVa "collaboration" worksite.  Please read the following instructions carefully:

  • Once you have submitted your abstract through the "Abstract Submission" page, all LOC members will receive an automatic email notification.
    • If you are an invited speaker, you will be added to the SPIN2008 collab worksite within 48 hours;
    • If you are a contributing speaker, you will be added to the SPIN2008 collab worksite as soon as the program is finalized by the LOC and if your talk is being selected by the program.
  • Once you are added to the worksite, you will receive two emails: One from "collab-support@virginia.edu" which contains your login id (your email address) and password information. The other email is from the LOC member who added you to the worksite, which contains more login information. Follow these instructions to login to UVa collab.
  • After logging in, you will see in the top menu bar "My workspace" and "SPIN2008". Click on "SPIN2008" to choose this worksite;
  • On the left menu bar, choose "Resources". Two directories for SPIN2008 talks will show up in the main window: "planery talks", and "parallel talks".  The directory "parallel talks" is further divided into eight (8) subdirectories.
  • Choose the session your talk belongs to, then use "Add" -> "Upload files" to upload your talk.
    • Use "Browse" to choose the file you want to upload from your laptop or PC. Note that due to storage limitation on the UVa/collab worksite, the file you upload should be less than 10MBytes in size;
    • After choosing the file, type in a new filename in the "Display Name" box. We strongly recommend using "Lastname_Firstname.ext" as the display name, where ".ext" depends on the file type. This is to make sure that the SPIN2008 worksite manager can recognize which talk the file is for.  If you used a different filename, it might be renamed by the worksite manager.
    • In "Email notification", choose "None - No notification";
    • click "Upload Files Now". This will take a few seconds (depending on your network speed).
  • You may update your talk by removing your old file and upload a new one. Note that typically you are only allowed to remove files that were uploaded by yourself.
  • You may upload only one file for each talk.
