<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Joseph,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">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.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">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...</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Best wishes--Pedro<br>

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" color="black"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt">Dear
FIS & IS4SI Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" color="black"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt">We
start this 23rd year of activities in the list with
the novelty commented in my
last message: the incorporation of IS4SI Board
members. We will count with a
network of a dozen correspondents or so who will keep
all of us updated on a
variety of fields belonging to "the study of
information" on a
seasonal basis. Of course all members of the list are
invited to participate in
this periodic informative contact too. Whatever
matters to our common interest
on information might be reflected by someone in the
list. The new purpose
is that this list becomes not only an arena of
discussion, as we have so much
accumulated in the past (see <a
href="https://fis.sciforum.net/fis-discussion-sessions/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://fis.sciforum.net/fis-discussion-sessions/</a>
), but also a dynamic repository of exciting ideas
& criticisms, of
relevant scholarship of articles and bibliography, of
new insights on
contemporary problems, etc. Everyone in his/her style,
we could work as a
collective intelligence trying to make better sense of
our strange times. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" color="black"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt">For
a start I would suggest a rough evaluation of the
past meeting in
Berkeley (could it be possible some comment from your
side, Terry?). It was
really an experience listening to technological
avantgarde's prognostics &
criticisms. Possible exits to the contemporary
crossroads are difficult to
foretell... In my opinion, a monumental
misunderstanding of information
underlies a good portion of the conceptual
disorientation among the
cognoscenti. I will try to argue more concretely about
this along the debates
of this New Course. The new inscribed parties may
present themselves and
produce their arguments when they wish (with the
traditional limitation of two
messages per week).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" color="black"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt">But
we are far less people than before in the list (sadly
the University of
Zaragoza's mindless application of the European Law on
Data Protection
decimated this list), so to facilitate the new
functioning, maybe relaxing the
two messages per week could be a good idea now. What
about putting the limit in
three messages per week? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" color="black"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt">Finally,
to the group of veteran FISers who have spent 20 years
or more in this list, a
strong hug. Let us hope the new venture with IS4SI
will mean a new horizon of
creativity and influence for our long-term project.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" color="black"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt">Best
regards<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
