Subject: European contacts in social science computing
A very knowledgeable person in social science computing is Jean-Claude
Gardin at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Science Sociales, 23 rue du
Maroc, F-75940 Paris Cedex 19, France. I do not have an e-mail address
for him, but you can phone him at 40.34.86.01 or 42.77.64.68 (he speaks
fluent English). He is very much concerned about the broader and deeper
implications of computing in the "sciences humaines," and should be a
useful resource for you.

Subject: Melbourne (July) Congress Participation
I would like to make contact with persons who plan to attend
the SBL(etc.) International Congress in Melbourne Australia
on 12-17 July 1992, for various reasons:
(1) to determine who might also attend the Sydney conference
on the Dead Sea Scrolls scheduled a few days earlier;
(2) to identify local contacts in Australia who might be able
to provide advice on setting up an exhibit of computer
resources at the Melbourne (and perhaps also the Sydney)
meetings -- I need to find out local contacts with vendors
(e.g. IBM, Apple, NeXT) and/or with University Centers and
similar points of potential cooperation;
(3) to explore the possibility of some shared sight-seeing
after the Melbourne congress.
In addition, I invite contact with persons who might have
wares that could appropriately be displayed or otherwise
made known in the computer exhibitions. The audiences will
include a wide array of religionists (whatever that may mean),
not only biblical and textual types. Whether I will have time,
energy, equipment, or expertise to show everything off is
problematic, but I would rather be in a position to do so
than to fail to have such an opportunity. And advice from
the (esp. Australian) participants as to what things they would be
especially interested in seeing demonstrated (or even
distributed, with respect to shareware and public domain
items) would also be most welcome.
I hope some people in Australia are listening; I understand
that this is a between-term break time, so please pass the
request along .... AND PLEASE REPLY DIRECTLY TO ME --
KRAFT@PENNDRLS.UPENN.EDU -- AND NOT TO THE DISCUSSION GROUPS,
IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.
Bob Kraft, UPenn

ox.ac.uk doesn't work (at least not for me), but the above address
seems to be tied to the name "black.ox.ac.uk" which does work.
Very good file transfer performance too.
