changes at RRE

``` It's time for some changes at RRE. Several things are happening at once. I'll be visiting faculty at UC Irvine next year. RRE's homebrew mailing list software is probably going to break when weber gets an OS upgrade next month. And I'm outta here for a brutal summer of intercontinental travel. So sometime fairly soon, RRE messages will start coming from UCI instead of UCSD. Also, assuming that we can get some administrative and technical details worked out, Paul Duguid will be RRE's guest editor for the summer. Paul is well known for his lucid articles on organizational learning and related topics. He's also a nice guy. So I really want you to support him by sending him a steady stream of interesting items that he can filter for RRE. If you want to get yourself off the list, send a message now that looks like this:

To: rre-request@weber.ucsd.edu Subject: unsubscribe

I'll be checking my e-mail periodically over the summer. No doubt we'll have various transitional hassles as we get the list working at UCI and everything, so I hope you'll bear with us.

Some other, more personal stuff is happening too. My book just came out, or so my editor tells me. It's called "Computation and Human Experience" and is published by Cambridge University Press. It's about the metaphors of artificial intelligence and what happens when those metaphors are put into practice in AI model-building. It's frighteningly erudite and only related at a subterranean level to the issues I cover on RRE, but perhaps you'll like it anyway. It's $21.95 in paperback (not $19.95 as some of the online bookstores say) and heaven knows how much in hardcover. When I get a chance I'll send out a formal advertisement for it. Also just out is a book that I edited with Doug Schuler. It's entitled "Reinventing Technology, Rediscovering Community: Critical Studies in Computing as a Social Practice", and it consists mostly of papers from the Directions and Implications in Advanced Computing (DIAC) conferences that CPSR organizes. It's a good book, although I hesitate to recommend that you buy it, given that the publisher (Ablex) insists on charging $39.95 for it in paperback. Also, I got tenure a couple weeks ago. I pledge that I will be a living example of the reason why there is tenure.

Here is my tentative schedule for the summer. By all means get in touch if anything is happening at any of these coordinates:

June 21 - Copenhagen June 23-30 - Cerisy-la-Salle July 1-2 - Paris July 4-5 - Vienna July 6-19 - Budapest July 20-31 - Ljubljana, Zagreb, Sarajevo, etc August 2-18 - Linkoping August 20-25 - Sao Paolo August 26-30 - Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia

See you later.
