Conference Plans

Plans for our next conference are moving ahead smoothly. We have a contract with the hotel in Orlando, Florida, and have almost finished lining up the conference committee; start thinking of a presentation or tutorial that you'd like to make. Our keynote speaker is Larry Tesler, who will talk about dynamic interactive object programming.

To keep the arrangements for future conferences as smooth as possible, we're looking into a hotel for the 1993 San Diego conference. One of the first actions of the new board will be to approve a contract for this conference. From now on, we will plan conferences several years in advance. This will give us lower rates with higher quality hotels.

Charter Committee

Unless you've been hiking in Nepal, you've probably heard about the letter of intent that Apple and IBM recently signed. As the industry changes, MADA will have to change, too. Jeff Alger, the chair of the outgoing board, has organized a committee from the MADA membership to consider whether MADA should broaden its charter, and if so, how and when. We'd like your input on this complex question: send a note to ALGER on AppleLink.
