Indeed. I would be most honored to meet with any gutenbergers while there (arriving Wed Jul 27 afternoon, leaving Sun Jul 31 evening). I should be easy to find (ask at the Info Desk, where I'll be volunteering... being a doctor of information, after all...), and plan to have a DECT phone registered for #6200. One of my talks will be about Project Gutenberg, while the other is about information retrieval: Saturday July 30 "Literature wants to be free!" (Day 3, Tent 4, 1:00-2:00 pm) Friday July 29 "Search engine internal processes" (Day 2, Tent 2, 10:00 - 11:00 am) These will be recorded, but not streamed live.
In the meantime a Juliet S. is going to be involved in an online conference on ebooks on Thursday, which everybody can follow at http://www.planetlibrary.info/lgleindex.htm after downloading a "small, safe plug-in". (Can I see the source code?)
Great! And I hope everyone else on this list and at DP and elsewhere feel empowered to Spread the eWord! -- Greg
