I have to make conference plans for 2006–2007. (Yes. Now. Even though most of next year’s small conferences haven’t even been announced yet. What I get for being in a niche part of the profession, I guess.)
Open Repositories is back in the US, so I’m going to have to conquer my plane-aversion and go. The month after that is the next code4libcon, which should be inexpensive enough that I won’t be horribly out-of-pocket (which I will be for OR, no question).
I know nothing about this year’s DASER, not even if there is a this year’s DASER, which means that if it’s not local again, I probably can’t make it. That nothing whatever has been announced (not even a call for papers) may well indicate that DASER is no more. Pity. Last year’s was awesome.
In JCDL 2006 news, a conference wiki has been started, with little fanfare. I’ll try to put together a dinner or two.
