Singularity, the first large-scale online web conference is unveiled

This is pretty neat: Singularity. Aral Balkan is putting on what he calls the "first large-scale online web conference in the world" and his list of speakers is a great mix of design, development, and standards that make this a really interesting conference for anyone interested in rich Internet applications.

Sessions and pricing haven't been announced but it looks like the date will be October 24th - 28th and may incorporate local events while keeping with the online format for all of the speakers. As the about page notes Aral has been a part of the Flash community as well as the open source/standards community for a long time and part of the goal of this conference is to bring those two communities together which is always a good thing. It also sounds like they're going to be very open about the planning and orchestration of the conference.

I think it's a cool idea and I hope it picks up a lot of momentum. I also hope we see some RIA-slanted speakers put into the put as well so if you have topic ideas, submit them. Thanks to Samiq for the heads up!
