                                 NOTE

First this is the last CSLI Calendar I will be doing ever as I am no
longer going to be at CSLI.  It has been an interesting 25 years.

Second, due to cost cutting the CSLI Calendar will also be changing.
The initial plan is to  
1. Drop Abstracts and give only URLs to abstracts on the original
   site (assuming there is one).
2. Concentrate only on Cognitive Science events at Stanford and the
   immediate area (e.g., Berkeley events will no longer be covered). 
3. CSLI will be merging the short and long versions of the calendar into
   one mailing list. 

This plan may well change depending on feedback which should be sent
to  Stanley Peters, the CSLI Director, peters ... stanford.edu and cc
incalendar@csli.stanford.edu.  

Third, people may want to browse the first newsletter (which I didn't
do) at
<http://www-csli.stanford.edu/Archive/calendar/1983-84/msg00000.html>
to see the changes over the years.
                             ____________

                             END MATERIAL

The CSLI Calendar appears weekly on most Wednesdays throughout the
year.  Announcements, abstracts, and other information to appear in
the Calendar should be submitted to the editor, who reserves the right
to decide what does or does not go in the calendar
mailto:incalendar@csli.stanford.edu

Requests to be added to the mailing list should be sent to
sympa@lists-csli.stanford.edu.  With the lines in the body of the text
of either
 subscribe csli-calendar
for the long form or
 subscribe csli-short-calendar
for the short form (i.e., no abstracts).  You will be asked to confirm
the subscription in either case. To unsubscribe use the word
unsubscribe instead of subscribe.  Problems with subscribing or
unsubscribing should be sent to incalendar@csli.stanford.edu
