Subject: SETI public: SETICon02 Report
SETIzens,
The second SETI League Technical Symposium drew a small but enthusiastic
crowd (34 attendees, up slightly from last year). Photos appear at
<http://www.setileague.org/photos/meet02px.htm>.
The quality of technical presentations exceeded our expectations. (See
for yourself by ordering a copy of the Proceedings of SETICon03, via
<http://www.setileague.org/admin/applicat.htm#mdse>). Social opportunities
were abundant, ranging from nightly hospitality suites to Saturday night's
Awards Banquet, and including refreshment breaks, a free VolCor breakfast
to honor our volunteers, various committee meetings, and a cold-cut
luncheon for participants after Sunday's membership and board meetings.
If you didn't already meet our 2002 Bruno and Greene Award winners, see
the press release now posted at
<http://www.setileague.org/press/pres0205.htm>.
Next year's Symposium, which celebrates ten years of privatized SETI, is
being expanded once again, tentatively scheduled to begin at 9 AM on
Friday, 25 April 2003, and running through 1 PM on Sunday the 27th. We
hope to include a hands-on hardware workshop for those wanting to gain
experience with microstrip construction of SETI station components.
Thanks to the kind assistance of member Prof. Allen Katz, we will once
again be using the fine facilities of the College of New Jersey. Their
food service at our last two Awards Banquets was exemplary.
We have begun early preparations for SETICon03 (and, in fact, you will see
a SETICon03 banner already in place on our main web page). A Call for
Papers appears at <http://www.setileague.org/seticon/papers03.htm>, with
abstracts due by 31 January 2003. I ask you all to start thinking about
what SETI experiences you may wish to document and share.
My thanks to the dozen presenters and various other participants who have
made this year's Symposium a great success. Next year will be even better.
Minutes of the Membership Meeting are posted to the website at
<http://www.setileague.org/admin/minute02.htm>.
See you all next year!
Yours for SETICon Success,
Paul
