Fis -- Distribution List FOUNDATIONS OF INFORMATION SCIENCE
About Fis	English (USA) Spanish (Spain)
The FIS initiative (Foundations of Information Science) started in 1994 with a first meeting in Madrid (organized by Michael Conrad and Pedro Marijuan), and was followed by a successful conference series: FIS 1996 in Vienna, FIS 2005 in Paris, FIS 2010 in Beijing, FIS 2013 in Moscow, and FIS 2015 in Vienna (FIS 2017 is planned in Gothenburg). The present discussion list was created in 1997, and has been active up to now. Discussion archives of the different periods may be found at: http://fis.sciforum.net/fis-mailing-list/ FIS POSTING RULES - FIRST RULE: Maintaining the academic code of conduct; messages not abiding by it will be ignored. The fis steering committee will arbitrate in contentious cases. - SECOND RULE: Participants have only right to a maximum of TWO MESSAGES PER WEEK (but just one is recommended in case of list saturation). Presenters may post up to 5 times per week, and moderators up to 3. - THIRD RULE: Clean posting; not dragging accumulated previous messages; addressing only to fis@listas.unizar.es, exclusively (a few other addresses might appear in the “cc”, but the lesser the better).
