Mid/Late July Conferences?

Posted on May 12, 2005 by Michael Froomkin

I'm going to be in Crete for a very nice seminar in mid-July. Before I book my tickets, I was wondering if there is anything going on between here and there during the week of the 17th that I ought to think of dropping in on?

On the subject of conferences more wonderful than I deserve, I will be in Paris — my favorite city! — for a too-short visit at the end of May, arriving the 25th and leaving that Sunday. The conference is the 27th & 28th, leaving me a day and a half free beforehand to look up a few old friends and obsess about my slides. (Mais si il y a quelqu'un a Paris qui lis ce blog, envoyez mois un message électronique.)

See You at MIT, Eventually

Posted on May 2, 2005 by Michael Froomkin

This is going to be an extremely busy week, so I'm not going to be able to fly up to Boston for the Time Travelers' Convention.

However, I do hope to have an older version of myself attending soon.

Plumbing the Depths

Posted on March 31, 2005 by Michael Froomkin

This weekend I'm going to be attending the Yale Information Society Project's conference on Information Flow. There's a great line-up of speakers (although remarkably few women), and interesting papers.

Unusually, the topics were more or less assigned by the organizers. Between that, and the assignment to aim for 5-10 pages (much shorter than my usual academic effort), the writing seemed much more difficult than usual.

If you'd like to see how I did with my assignment to write about “Information as Governance,” have a look at the conference draft of Plumbing the Depths.

PS. As this is just an early draft, comments are especially welcome.

Ottawa Update

Posted on March 5, 2005 by Michael Froomkin

Marc Rotenberg is talking right now. He has much better slides than the rest of us. There's been a running joke through today's conference about people joking that I'm gloomy, and he's Pollyanaish. He denies it, though. Although he did say this morning that he thinks I read the Supreme Court's cases too gloomily…

And he has a great riff on the name of his panel 'Life During Wartime' in which he re-writes the song. I'm hoping he'll email me the lyrics. Or someone will do a parody/cover…

My Slides From the ‘Concealed’ Conference

Posted on March 5, 2005 by Michael Froomkin

There's wifi here, but all I can get is http, not ssh or sftp. So I haven't been able to upload my slides to the fast(er) server at UM. But that's ok, there's a workaround.

Here, since a few people at the conference claimed interest, is link to my Powerpoint slides Anonymity Law in the USA: Latest Developments, Familiar Problems.
