I finished editing all papers for the most recent proceedings a week after the final, FINAL deadline, in February or whenever it was. Nagel and Melich have had the papers ever since. They made some corrections to the contents of the papers, they wrote an introduction, and they persuaded 2 or 3 other authors to give papers, as recently as last week. I do not know when they will get around to printing the book. I think they will have it printed in the U.S. rather than India, and they will hold the copyright. As for the next conference, I have been bombarding people with various suggestions. For example I urge them to emulate PLoS and use a CCAL instead of a copyright. (See http://www.plos.org/journals/license.html) Some have expressed support for these ideas but most remain silent, so I do know what they will do. They say they will have a meeting at the conference to discuss the proceedings. - Jed
