Greetings all: Sounds like such a great time in Maastricht, intellectually and socially, so now let's use that post-conference enthusiasm to plan the next conference in Toronto... We are ready to go, with a strong team which I will do my best to chair, Katherine Parrish, Jason Nolan, Alex Kuskis and our steering committee chair, Barry Wellman, a supportive committee from University of Toronto, other Canadian universities and one across the border ( Roy Roussell Suny-Buffalo), Matt Allen from Curtin in Australia ( chairing the Program Committee for review of papers once that starts up), and Program co-chair David Mitchell from University of Calgary (advising on keynotes and themes). So please get involved in the specific sub list where the conference planning is under discussion now: List-Subscribe: <http://www.aoir.org/mailman/listinfo/air-meet>, or <mailto:air-meet-request@aoir.org?subject=subscribe> or check out the archives to see what you are getting into: List-Archive: <http://www.aoir.org/pipermail/air-meet/> Tell us what you like most, what you dislike, or who you would love to hear and meet at the next conference, or what you would like to do in our fine northern corner of the global village. Due to the granting deadlines for our research funding agency, SSHRC, we need to have keynotes and themes set up in a preliminary way by October 31st, so please put your ideas forward now. On the weekend the Toronto group will be outlining some of the ideas we have gathered or discussed so far. Let us know your reactions and your preferences. Toronto 2003 unfolds also at our beta web site <http://www.ecommons.net/aoir > More to come....
