As some of you are aware, a most wonderful conference occurred under the sponsorship of the Human Systems Dynamics Institute - It was all about self-organizing systems. In fact it started from the heretical position that there is no such thing as a non-self-organizing system (You will never guess who suggested this. :-)). And it went down, up and sideways from there. If you want a look at the proceedings click on http://www.openspaceworld.com/Book%20of%20Proceedings%20Turtles%2005.htm
The proceedings were obviously written by the participants - but Lisa Heft did a super job in preparing them for publication. Thank you Lisa!! The conference was actually filled up before it was officially announced. Which is nice in a funny sort of way. But it also left some disappointed people. However there will be a Turtles II with lots of space, currently scheduled for April 1-3, 2006. Stay tuned for future announcements. And if you are wondering what self-organization and turtles have to do with each other, I guess you will just have to read the proceedings.
