Dear Pedro and FIS Colleagues,
Every year, including this, we organize special conference on FIS called
"GIT" from "General Information Theory".
This year it will be organized, too.
We received interesting contributions, for instance from FIS-ers Mark Burgin

Dear colleagues,
Krassimir Markov's suggestion is excellent. Next year we could have a
FIS conference in his place, centered in the exploration of the new info
avenue drafted by Terrence Deacon's book, and started by Stuart Kauffman
and others. Previously my suggestion is that we have a regular

Dear Bob, Terry and FIS colleagues,
Let me remember the possibility to organize conferences on FIS offerd by the
ITHEA ISS in Varna, Bulgaria.
Please see what we have done till now at
