Greetings to all Our AoiR conference team is looking forward to welcoming all of you here in Toronto for our annual conference, October 16 - 19. Come early or stay longer if you can. The pre conference workshops take place on October 15. Please note that the early bird registration closes on July 15th, so we hope that you will signal your intention to come (and save some money) by signing up now. <http://order.kagi.com/cgi-bin/store.cgi?storeID=5WS1&&> or click into it from the front page of the Conference web site www.ecommons.net/aoir . We are updating our conference web site frequently, and will be adding the roommate finder (thanks Jeremy), and an easier to navigate program guide soon. You who have done this organizing for AoiR before know that it is always a lot more work than (as volunteers) you are quite prepared to handle. If anyone wants to add a pre conference workshop, please do contact our coordinator, Olivia Robertson - U of T <olivia.robertson@utoronto.ca> and the committee will consider your request. So far we have planned some fine workshops which will charge a fee, and a free local labs tour. Details soon on the web site. All is coming along, if a bit more slowly than we might like. We appreciate any help that has been supplied so far. Take care. Liss Jeffrey, PhD McLuhan Program, KMDI, University of Toronto aoir@ecommons.net
To piggyback onto Liss's announcement, for those who have had concerns about SARS, WHO lifted its advisory for Toronto, and the U.S. CDC lifted its travel alert for Toronto, as more than 30 days (or three SARS incubation periods) have elapsed since the date of onset of symptoms for the last case. Looking forward to seeing as many of you as can make it to the conference, and thanks to Liss and her group for all of their efforts to make the conference a terrific one!

Dear Liss: I notice - having had it pointed out to me by a workshop participant curious about our schedule - that the website still has no information regarding pre-conference workshops, including ours on Internet research ethics. I think - if I've missed something, please let me know. This is unfortunate, especially in light of the push to get people to book hotel and flights, etc. They would not know whether to book for the pre-conference workshops, so far as I can tell, because there's been no publicity on them. Please understand this is not a complaint or a criticism, but simply an effort (a) to ascertain if I have it right - and if so (b) would you have any objection to my publicizing the workshop by posting a notice of it on the aoir list? Thanks for your attention to this matter. I hope to hear from you soon. Amicalement, Charles Ess Distinguished Research Professor, Interdisciplinary Studies Drury University 900 N.

The note just sent to the list was clearly intended for Liss Jeffrey - I apologize for any embarrassment this may have caused, as well as for the unnecessary clutter in your email box. One of these days, I might get some competence in this medium. With all sincere regrets, Charles Ess Distinguished Research Professor, Interdisciplinary Studies Drury University 900 N.
