Dear FIS colleagues, The First Conference on Philosophy of Information has just taken place in Xian; and indeed it has been quite an exciting and useful experience. Congratulations to the leading organizer: Wu Kun, and to his excellent team of collaborators. Several FIS and ISIS parties could finally participate there (Brenner, Brier, Jahr, and myself, apart from our well known colleagues in China: Wukun, Yixin, Ouyang, Zongrong, etc.). Other Western participants were there too, with topics quite close to our discussion interests. They have been invited to join the fis list and in due time we will organize short discussion sessions around their topics. For their information (I have just subscribed them into the list---minutes ago) precisely we now are running a session on the Sociotype, chaired by Raquel del Moral, who is also in the Secretariat of the list. Their comments are welcome, if needed the exchanged texts can be easily found in the list archives. In a few days Raquel and me will try to make some plans for the coming months sessions and will publish them in the list. More news will be posted about ISIS and FIS during next weeks too. The conference has been very useful for advancing in important organization chapters. Thus, our most cordial welcome to: Kenneth Herold, Israel Belfer, James McAllister, Colin Allen, and Michael Moran; plus Liu Gang and Guolin Wu.
best wishes, ---Pedro -- ------------------------------------------------- Pedro C.
