finalizing draft content by the 17th. Please add yourself to the list
of contributors if you are interested in any aspect of its production;
we need more people in every department!

* Prof. Lawrence Lessig has been on the hook for an interview all
month... it may not happen in time for this edition, but you can find
a longer list of questions for him on the same page.

Here's your chance to change the newsletter's name! There is a

And finally, there will be another Quarto meeting in the coming week,
to bring together thoughts on the first newsletter and discuss
versions of the next; perhaps Monday or Tuesday next week.
