Doors 8 Alternative Plans
Doors of Perception has announced that Doors 8 will be held not in Amsterdam in the Fall, but in New Delhi in March 2005.
This is dissapointing for me, since a trip halfway around the world to a rather abstract conference will be impossible to justify to my employer (and perhaps to my bank account). Sadly, this means less contact with people I enjoy talking to about subjects that I wouldn't learn about otherwise, which is the whole point of conferences.
So here's what I suggest: why not just have the meeting-up part in Amsterdam this fall anyway? A loosely structured workshop or retreat is maybe what I have in mind. Ideally, it would be productive: bring a project, an idea, a call for papers, an outline, anything that might benefit from a week's work and conversation with like-minded folks. It might be nice to schedule it around the Open Doors competition (which actually wasn't terribly interesting at Doors 7).
This idea isn't too well-thought-out at the moment, but if anyone has an interest in something like this, get in touch.
