GikIII 3 is Go!

Via Technollama, I'm very happy to announce..


GIKIII
Oxford Internet Institute
September 24-25, 2008

We are glad to announce the third edition of GikII (appropriately renamed GikIII), which will take place 24-25 September 2008 at the Oxford Internet Institute in, errr... Oxford!

GikII is so cutting edge that it is the nano-blade of workshops, so expect all sorts of challenging papers, tenuous legal connections, l33t powerpoint and keynote skillz, uber-geekery, and a healthy dose of lolcatz. Previous GikIIs explored Facebook privacy settings before privacy had become fashionable; it looked at the legal issues in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, anime, lolcatz, fandom, virtual property and tattoos.

The call for papers

If you would like to participate, email your abstract of no more than 500 words. This should be sent to either l.edwards@soton.ac.uk or a.guadamuz@ed.ac.uk by July 15 2008. We will confirm acceptances by August 1. Abstracts may be accepted after this date depending on whether the workshop is full. Numbers will be limited so book now!



No n00bs allowed.
