[Air-l] Report from AoiR Toronto 2003

[Liss Jeffrey]

Dear Aoir-ites: Here is my monthly report.

Things are heating up here in Toronto as we prepare for the conference (and 
I do not just mean the heated aftermath of the blackout - nice try, blaming 
Canada for the outage!). Seneca College has generously donated funds, and 
we are hoping that all of you will ask your universities, faculties, 
institutes or publishers to do the same. All sponsors will be recognized at 
the event, on the web site, and in our printed materials. I am pleased to 
report that we have a new version of the conference Program online,  ( http 
://www.ecommons.net/aoir/aoir2003/index.php?d= )  so do check on your paper 
and panel. Roomates are saving money on their rooms with the help of our 
roommate finder forum online (http://www.ecommons.net/aoir/p/list.php?f=2 ) 
and some of the pre conference workshops are now listed online 
(http://www.ecommons.net/aoir/conference.phtml#pre ). There are more free 
events coming soon so try and come to Toronto early so that you can attend 
the October 15th events. The birds of a feather groups are starting to meet 
online ( http://www.ecommons.net/aoir/p/list.php?f=3 ) and this affinity 
group organizing promises to strengthen the topical networks for Internet 
Researchers. If you want to help out, please contact us at 
aoir at ecommons.net  Have a great rest of summer. Liss Jeffrey, PhD, AoiR 
2003 Conference Chair.
