Reviving an old thread: I've been asked to submit budget requests for the 2015-2016 academic year (beginning September 1, 2015) to my University.
So: I'm going to request funds to travel to the "Tiddlywiki as Hypertext" conference, to be held in Amsterdam, UK (Oxford or Cambridge) or Toronto in March/April/May 2016. A true bureaucratic solution: request the funding first, create the conference next :) I'll volunteer to work on the conference program and organize some sort of review process. Hopefully someone here will volunteer to be chair of the "host committee" to organize the venue and on-the-ground details A quick, off-the-cuff description of the conference theme, obviously to be shaped by the participants: >Tiddlywiki can be envisioned and described within the broad vison of "hypertext" imagined by pioneers Vannevar Bush, Ted Nelson and Doug Englebart.* This conference will bring together users and developers within the Tiddlywiki ecosystem to consider, demonstrate and document the relationship between the Bush/Nelson/Englebart vision, and the Tiddlywiki (TW5) community's implementation, practices and techniques. Participants will include users, developers, scholars and students. We anticipate about 15-25 attendees and participants. * Bush, As we may think <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_We_May_Think>. Nelson, Literary Machines <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literary_Machines>. Engelbart, Mother of all demos <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mother_of_All_Demos> Anyone interested? //steve.
