Conferences should be more spread out....

By clock on May 21, 2007.

First, I tentatively reserved a spot for myself for the Science Foo Camp on August 3-5, 2008 in Mountain View, CA.

Then, there is nothing for a long time, then three conferences I want to go to, and for all three I have some degree of negotiations about presenting about Open Science or science blogging or in some way being involved, and all three are almost simultaneous:

ConvergeSouth 2007 in October 19-20, 2007, in Greensboro, North Carolina.

The 2007 Microsoft eScience Workshop at RENCI at the Friday Center in Chapel Hill, NC on October 21-23, 2007

ASIS&T: Joining Research and Practice: Social Computing and Information Science on October 18-25, 2007 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Perhaps I can finagle to go to Greensboro for two days, Chapel Hill for two days and Milwaukee for two days - my wife is gonna kill me for abandoning her with the kids for so long while I schmooze with interesting people!

Then again, nothing for a long time until the North Carolina Science Blogging Conference, at Sigma Xi, RTP, on January 18-19, 2008.

Unfortunately, I found no sponsor to go to this next week. Ah well, it turned out to be far too molecular for my taste anyway.
