Just a note but I will be out of town Sunday through Wednesday (August 27th through 30th) only. Also, the old SVG Open conference material seems to be messed...
Andi, this is moving too fast. You've sent out the cancellation notice, so there is no going back from it now without further loss of face. But let's not jump...
Nea. 1) It's too early to discuss. 2) Everyone needs to calm down a little and we need to get our bearings. I smell panic. 3) No reasonable organisation...
Hi, Ronan- ... I hardly think that 9 months is too early to discuss. ... No, you see people trying to get something done, a task just doable in the timeframe...
... It clearly is not, and having only nine months means we really need to pick a location quickly so that we can get properly organised in what little time is...
Ronan, It seems to me from your email that you have a number of false understandings about the situation. I know what your personal opinion on my company are...
Hi, Folks- I have never worked with Alastair, but everyone I know that has has spoken of him highly. I can say that I was impressed with him personally on the...
On Sun, 27 Aug 2006 01:20:57 +0200, Robin Berjon <robin.berjon@...> ... Agreed. I think it is critical to get a date and venue settled early. ... Hmm. On...

... Agreed: On the macrocalendar, 9 months is short notice. However, on the microcalendar, a 3-day spasm of email traffic in a newsgroup is not a...
Hi, Ronan- ... You act like we have already decided on the location. People have voiced favor toward Victoria, but nothing has been decided. Obviously...
Hi Kurt and others, I was a bit surprised to read Kurts announcement at http://www.svgopen.org/ about Alastair taking over the conference and having it in...
Ronan, while I agree with many of your concerns I disagree with some of your arguments. When organizing a conference at a university campus, the conference ...
... Well, you yourself have voted that we should have the conference in UVIC. Seems to me like we are at the decision stage now, not at the evaluation stage. ...
Hi Andi, ... Good point. I suspect that Phil was able to do this this is because Schemasoft had good credit and was able to write a PO for the work, putting...
the Dutch SVG foundation is indeed a legal entity. I've asked Barend Köbben of the board to take a look at the messages in these groups to see where the...
Concerning the conference (and potentially moving it locationwise), I'd like to put things into formal perspective here. The conference was sponsored by my...
Since we received 45 paper or abstracts I think it is our duty to personally inform the authors of these papers or abstracts that the conference won't take...
Absolutely, we need to contact them. Do you want to share that load? If so, send me some abstracts and email/phonecontacts, and I can deal with them. As far as...
I agree with Ronan that we simply should not publish the papers. It would not be fair to the authors, and for that matter, we have not reviewed the papers at...

I just submitted a news item on svg.org regarding the 2006 cancellation. Please support the entry to get it on the news quickly. Also, feel free to adopt the...
so who has access to the paper system? Kurt can you please send us a summary of the submitted papers/abstracts or allow us to access the system? Thanks, ...
Hi, Andreas- ... I modded it up. ... Yes, I'd rather you removed it for now. I hadn't planned on making it public yet. Even though I got approval for it, I...
Thanks, I removed the mention of Raleigh from www.svgopen.org Andreas ... -- ... Andreas Neumann Institute of Cartography ETH Zurich Wolfgang-Paulistrasse 15 ...
Sorry - time zone differentials here - I just caught the thread now. I'll put together an email list today of entrants. Should I notify them, or is this...
Hi Kurt, yes, you can do it, thanks. But I am sure most of us would like to have access to the papers and abstracts that had been submitted so far. Regarding...
