Anyone know anything about these IPSI BgD things? I've been getting these emails for a while, and they always seem kind of strange to me. Almost like they are written by a machine...

All our conferences are non-profit. They bring together the elite of the world science; so far, we have had seven Nobel Laureates speaking at the opening ceremonies. The conferences always take place in some of the most attractive places of the world. All those who come to our conferences once, always love to come back (because of the unique professional quality and the extremely creative atmosphere); lists of past participants are on the web, as well as the details of all future conferences.
These conferences are in line with the newest recommendations of the US National Science Foundation and of the EU research sponsoring agencies, to stress multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary research (M+I+T++ research). The speakers and activities at our conferences truly support this type of scientific interaction.
Among the main topics of these conferences are: "E-education and E-business with special emphasis on the Internet related research in technical and non-technical fields." All topics directly or indirectly related to current and future DARPA and NASA projects are also welcome (all papers from all past IPSI conferneces are stored by NASA).
Other topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Internet
- Computer Science and Engineering
- Mobile Communications/Computing for Science and Business
- Management and Business Administration
- Education
- e-Medicine
- e-Oriented Bio Engineering/Science and Molecular Engineering/Science
- Environmental Protection
- e-Economy
- e-Law
- Technology Based Art and Art to Inspire Technology Developments
- Internet Psychology
- Internet Phylosophy
- Humanities in General
If you would like to get more information on either conference, please reply to this e-mail message, and put the conference name/city into the subject line.
If you plan to submit an abstract and paper, please let us know that immediately for planning purposes. Remember that you can submit your paper also to one of the two IPSI Transactions journals.
Sincerely Yours,
Prof. Veljko Milutinovic, Program Chairman, IPSI Conferences, Journals, and Tutorials ____________________________________________________________________

yes it seems so. i aplogize for letting spam through.
i have been trying to release the strict policies of the pd-lists a little - at least for things like pd-announce and pd-ot. most of the real spam is filtered out before it gets to the lists, so the moderation task has become easier. esp. for the pd-announce list, i think the restriction to members only is a bit hard. (but while i am struggling with myself, i make arbitrary decisions about what to let through :: which is the thing i never wanted to get into)
obviously this leads to such emails getting through to the list (which at a quick glance just seem to be ordinary announcements, like the final call to the DAfx)
i don't know what i should do exactly. probably search a volunteer for moderating the pd-announce list...

Can i ask why? - I see no reason not to restrict to members only.
Apropos, it would be very nice if the http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-* pages explicit stated what the policy on this subject is.
cheers, steffen

ah yes, the current link to the pd-* netiquette is http://puredata.info/community/lists/netiquette
i'll have to update the sites at lists.puredata.info
thanks for the reminder.

No problem, I don't know whether it was spam or not. I wasn't trying to fault you, I was more curious whether anyone knew anything about the IPSI BgD things.

I think the easy way to deal with it is make it members only, with no moderator. No perfect, but you have better things to do.

i don't see a reason for pd-list, pd-dev, pd-ot, pd-cvs and gem-dev to allow non-members to post. however, i do feel that pd-announce is often fit for postings that originate from non-members (like e.g. the final call for DAfx). then announcements are often time critical (like "deadline today!") - having to go through the subscription process (which itself only takes a couple of minutes, but you have to find the time for it) might slow this down to make announcements outdated before they even appear - otoh, a moderation process (for each non-subscribed mail) will take a lot more time than that and it does not guarantee at all that announcments will be in time...
furthermore, people who _are_ subscribed sometimes post from non-subscribed email addresses: i enforce them to use multiple email addresses on lists that allow discussion (non-announcement lists), because else it would lead to neverending pending moderator requests. however on the pd-announce i feel that this is an overhead. (but hey! moderation is an overhead too...)
so anyhow, there is no real necessity to not-restrict any list to members only; if it is common sense that _all_ lists are members only i am content with it. i just thought it would be "a service"
