I’m pleased to announce the Object-Oriented Ontology Symposium hosted by Georgia Tech in April. You’ll find all the information here. Bogost has done a fantastic job designing the webpage. Come dressed as your favorite object, cyborg, troll, gray vampire, or minotaur!
This announcement will be at the top of the page until April. New posts can be found directly beneath it.

Nice poster. Now if you could put some cotton candy in the upper right we’d have a good old fashioned county fair. Yee haw, metaphysics!
(I’m Texan, so I can go there).

Wow, this looks really fantastic (both the form and content).
Any plans for the papers to be available on-line for those of us with rescinded travel budgets? [I realize that that would be supererogatory, and am looking forward to the anthology you Nick and Graham have edited].

Hi Jon, nice to see you.
Short answer: we haven’t figured it out yet, but we have talked about it and do intend to make the materials available in some form.
We usually record these sorts of things too, and put them online.

Ian,
Great news. It will be fantastic to get the proceedings. I’m hoping to be able to teach the spec. realism anthology next fall semester and it would be really cool to have these papers too.

Jon,
I suspect we’ll publish them in expanded form in a collection of some sort… Perhaps with zERO if they’re interested, though all of this is in the preliminary stages. Personally I’d rather see them in print.

I wish you all the best for your conference, and congratulations on breaking over a million hits on your site!

Bogost,
Since you’re down there in GA, you’re no doubt involved in the logistics of this thing. Thanks for that. I really wish I could be there!
If you do record the talks, please make the philosophers do a sound check. A lot of us will only be able to experience this via print or podcast. It would be a shame to hear you utter, “Now the really interesting thing about the return to realism is {{{{FEEDBAAAAAACK}}}}…”

But what if feedback is the most interesting thing about the return to realism?

Is OOO in any way connected with Object Oriented Programming?
