For the past few years, @PierceBenjamin and @RajeevAlur have taught a course at Penn called "Writing and Speaking with Style". They've just published the course materials, in the hopes that they could be useful to others! Check it out: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Over the last 4 weeks, a group of us convened as an ACM task force to write a Best Practices Guide for organizing virtual conferences. The guide is linked from acm.org/virtual-conferences. We hope this will prove useful for conference organizers, at least this year!
