The conference in Beijing is over. Both in contents & discussions, and in organizational advancements, a remarkable success has been achieved. Such an exciting time we have have had! Important novelties concerning future discussion-sessions in the list, new research possibilities and, above all, steps towards the creation of an "International Society for Information Studies" will be announced during next weeks / months, as well as the state of the publications in process. We also count with a number of new FIS colleagues out from the conference list of participants (the "mass subscription" performed can be easily reversed via web if some parties are not willing to stay in the list--or they can just tell me).
It was great seeing again FIS friends of past conferences! Close to 30 participants were from FIS and ScII, plus another 50-60 new ones which were mostly from China but also from Japan, USA, Russia, Germany, etc. Needless to say, they are invited to send conference reports and juicy comments about these unforgettable days.
What can I add? We have enjoyed the warm hospitality of our Chinese colleagues, and we very much thank to ALL of them. It will be really nice continuing our conversations by means of this very list...
All the best,
---Pedro
PS. The discussion-sessions will start around the middle of September (it will be announced). All parties are cordially reminded that each participant can send no more than two messages per week, they have to be sent to fis@listas.unizar.es , remember also that attached files are rather unwelcome.
