They have their payment story together. They will contact you will all the arrangements. I think they cover flights and hotel and pay different fees for different services (e.g. teaching a course verses giving a talk). I may be off base if you are only giving a talk because I have always done the combo deal. I suggest you ping Lee directly. Unlike other conference organizers we know, he will respond. -----Original Message----- From: fonc-boun...@vpri.org [mailto:fonc-boun...@vpri.org] On Behalf Of Michael Forster Sent: Friday, June 03, 2011 1:19 PM To: Fundamentals of New Computing Subject: Re: [fonc] Alternative Web programming models?

Whether talking about the logical or physical level, a database is a specfication of data structure (and constraints upon that data). Dr. Kay once characterised computing as a "pop culture," and statements such as the above reflect that.
