<p class=MsoNormal>Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The annual SHOT meeting is almost upon us. This time in
Lisbon. I have sent a message on lunch arrangements to everyone who has signed
up for it or previously let me know they were attending. If you think you are
coming but did NOT get the email with map, etc. then let me know as soon as
possible otherwise there will be no food for you. We have 40 registered so far,
and last time I saw the figures were tied with the environmental history people
as the biggest SIG! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We’ve tended to run an informal dinner (just eat drink
chat, no speeches or business) as well as the official lunch. With the need to
make lots of announcement and conduct business at the lunch the dinner tends to
be more relaxed and smaller, so it can be a good chance to get to know people
working in the field. Looking at the program we’ve got a reception on
Saturday, the banquet on Monday, so that seems to leave Sunday night, where the
only thing programmed after 7:30 appears to be an “international comics
festival” with a reception. So we’d probably meet around 8pm on
Sunday. This will only happen if I hear people are interested, and details on
final arrangements will only be sent to people who reply to this message. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As well as the lunch we have a number of computing related
sessions. I count four panels devoted to some form of IT (including cybernetics)
and three more papers scattered over panels with other themes or assembled from
individually contributed papers. That’s down from last year, but still a
very healthy trend compared with five years ago. It’s not too soon to
start thinking about the 2009 meeting (10/15/2009 - 10/19/2009 Pittsburgh, PA).
We hope to run at least one extra session and possibly an additional full day
of programming in conjunction with this meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The one SIGCIS organized panel this year is 1:30-3:30 on
Sunday, Oct 12.<o:p></o:p></p>
