Dear Pedro and FIS people,
Thank you, Pedro, for adding Chris, Magnus and me to your list and for
your words about the DTMD 2013 workshop at the Open University. We are
pleased that you found it good, and we in turn are very grateful for
your extremely valuable participation as a keynote speaker.
The video recordings of the workshop is now available on the workshop
website http://www.dtmd.org.uk/ (on this page:
http://www.dtmd.org.uk/webcast). You might also be interested in the
proceedings of the previous workshop in this series, DTMD2011, which can
be found here: http://www.dtmd2011.info/programme, and also the papers
that were published following DTMD2011 as a special issue of TripleC:
http://www.triple-c.at/index.php/tripleC/issue/view/26
We are looking forward to participating in this discussion group but the
three of us are exhausted after planning and running the workshop and
have a big backlog of other jobs that need attention! So, thank you for
inviting us to lead a discussion sessionand we would like to do that in
the future, but I am afraid we need at least a few weeks before we could
take that on.
By way of introduction you can read about the three of us as well as the
other members of the DTMD 2013 Programme Committee here:

Best wishes,

Dear Joseph and FIS colleagues,
Thanks for the friendly message. Let me introduce you all the
organizing team of the Open University conference: Magnus Ramage,
David Chapman, and Chris Bissell --they did a great job there and we
are fortunate that they have joined our list too. As I invited them
during the conference, they could chair our next discussion session,
in a few weeks or days if they wish. A short text of around 500 or 800
words with some focus in themes discussed at Milton Keynes would
suffice to kick off the discussion. As other people have recently
joined the list, all of them should remind our_strict limitation of a
maximum of two messages per week._ This is a list emphasizing "slow
thinking" and scholarship.
By the way, my management experience during all these months has lead
me to think and start work on a new theme: the information flow in
complex organizations. The properties or limits of natural
communication (conversation) in our social groups determine the
structural patterns of complex bureaucratic organizations... terrible
committees included! Next weeks I will post more on that.
best wishes
--Pedro
