Meeting Announcement: 2003 Northeast PIUG Workshop -- October 8th

Abstract
Not nearly as large as the Annual meeting (but still usually attended by 150 or so people), the Northeast PIUG meeting is a long standing and informative event for the patent information community. The event is typically conducted in a single day but this year the planning committee is expanding coverage by including pre and post meeting workshops. More information will be posted later when the theme and call for papers is announced.

I imagine most of the people reading this will be coming back from PIUG when this colloquium is taking place but the topic is still relevant and some of the links on the web page look potentially interesting.

In this entry I go through the steps it took to get this Weblog on the Internet. It was not a terribly complicated or expensive process and hopefully this will encourage more people to consider posting blogs themselves.
