FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION:
Q: Will there be another Extreme Computing event this summer
(2003)?
A: [NB - New answer for July 2005] Perhaps not in 2003, but the official followup to "Extreme
Computing" has has the new name of
Open Tech 2005
(and takes place in Hammersmith on Saturday 23rd July 2005) -

A: Probably not. There's a number of reasons for this - we were hanging on to
see what happened with a (rumoured) big retro games event in Brighton, and
an (even more rumoured) return of the Access All Areas computer security
conference, but at time of writing (May 1st, 2003) neither have materialised yet.
Consequently, we haven't made many plans of our own about having another
event like last year's during the summer period.
That said, there's a chance we might get involved with a smaller event (like
the Haddocks' Take
It Outside) if we can get a few interesting speakers together, plus there's
a fair chance we'll organise a larger Extreme Computing-style event towards
the end of the year, probably in the run-up to Christmas.
The best place for the news on either of these will be NTK, which is a weekly email newsletter which you
can subscribe to, and then angrily delete it if it wasn't what you'd
hoped for.
Thanks for taking an interest!
