More on Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility's recent conference on Computers, Freedom, and Privacy: PUBLICITY: The conference, especially the keynote by Laurence Tribe, has received quite a bit of press. LATimes (March 27), NYTimes (March 31), in Time magazine (already noted here), and in ComputerWorld (p. 99). A lengthy report on the entire conference is in RISKS 11.39. PROCEEDINGS: Conference chair Jim Warren reports that a 170-200 page edited comprehensive Proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag, and should be available around September, 1991. In addition, about 20 of the 80+ speakers submitted papers early enough to be printed in the conference program booklet, and limited quantities are available (136 pages, $15). Within a few weeks, audio- and video-tapes should also be available. (For more information on any of these, write CFP Proceedings, 345 Swett Road, Woodside CA 94062.) SEQUEL: CFP-2 will be in Spring 1992 in Washington, DC. CPSR/DC activist Lance Hoffman of George Washington University (no relation to me!) will be general chair.
