[Fis] New Course Novelties

Wed Oct 2 13:52:58 CEST 2019

Dear Joseph,

Thanks for the response. For me the event was quite curious, the 
opportunity to watch some parties close to the "guru" category, to 
respire the atmosphere of Silicon Valley, and also the opportunity to 
watch the steady advancement of our Chinese colleagues. Indeed the 
organization of a strong (IS4SI) National Chapter like they have done, 
could be suggestive for Europeans and US parties. Don't you think that 
we should promote these "continentals" arrangements? A similar US 
Chapter a EU Chapter --each one with its own thinking style and focus-- 
would provide more leverage for the common "Study of Information", 
including the foundations of information science and information 
philosophy as well.

About changing the titles of strings, it depends! In some cases it looks 
better to maintain them (e.g. for people who could be interested in 
later consult) and in others it is better to clarify it is a different 
subject...

Best wishes--Pedro
