Things that have already happened.
Emory Free Culture and the DL Symposium
Yay, a firm deadline for once! --jcorneli Thu May 12 18:57:13 2005 UTC
Deadline pushed back, see above. --jcorneli Sun Apr 03 07:15:32 2005 UTC
By Aaron. See Wolfram Visit.
The deadline for a letter of intent has passed. I guess that doesn't really matter? April 11 is pretty soon. --jcorneli Mon Mar 28 19:26:21 2005 UTC
nero is a free web browser that runs under emacs, written by jcorneli. The current stable version is available at the aforementioned link. --jcorneli Mon Mar 28 19:30:02 2005 UTC
It is pretty much done now, and quite usable. I'm happy to be moving on to other things. (But glad to have a new default browser!) --jcorneli Thu Apr 14 22:55:29 2005 UTC

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get anything together by March 31. Maybe? Seems a little unlikely. Any other interesting MetaScholar news? --jcorneli Mon Mar 28 19:24:24 2005 UTC
Deadline shifted from March 31 to April 29. --akrowne Sun Apr 3 00:12:48 UTC 2005
Hm… an extension. Tempting! --jcorneli Sun Apr 03 07:14:51 2005 UTC
NSF Advanced Learning Technologies Grant Planning Page
Note, at some point we're going to have to switch from brainstorming and freeform discussion to a more structured outline of things to include, and actually writing the grant. --jcorneli Mon Mar 28 19:37:41 2005 UTC (revised Sun Apr 3 10:19:02 2005)
This is coming up pretty quickly, given that the 10th seems positively immanent. --jcorneli Fri Apr 29 00:01:28 2005 UTC
Yes, and I am still trying to find local interest. --akrowne Fri Apr 29 01:41:36 UTC 2005
I assume that it is impossible to apply for this now? --jcorneli Tue May 10 04:30:53 2005 UTC
No, I don't think so. Without some Ph. D.'d partners, I think it will be difficult, but I can count on the library here at Emory, and PM.org as partners. And I think we can get some pretty weighty letters of support, if we (I) sketch out a plan for the proposal and go a-beggin'. I think I will start working on this stuff this weekend and through next week. --akrowne Thu May 12 22:50:27 UTC 2005
Well, there are already a lot of notes and ideas on the linked-to page; if you put together a page-long abstract of a proposal, the rest of us could critique that, and then you could circulate it more widely. How long do you think the actual proposal is going to be? The main weakness of all of the things we've talked about so far seems to be implementation details, like, how much money each thing would cost. Maybe your abstract could include a "financial abstract" too (a suggested bottom line and little low-granularity itemization). --jcorneli Thu May 12 23:47:47 2005 UTC
We're scheduled to give a couple of talks in the "Math on the Web" Pavilion. The titles are:
An overarching summarizing blurb is:
The "free math" talk will tell the audience what PM.org is all about, and the "visions" talk will deal ongoing research work in this area, and sketch future directions.
Anyone who wants to help write the talks can! The speaker will get final say, of course. The speaker is tentatively going to be Aaron because that is what is down on the official forms, but this may change. Any PMers who are going to be going to the JMM should at least make a note about it on the 2006 JMM wiki page so we can meet up!
