We have superceded our old blog, calconnect.wordpress.com, with the news feed from our new website, www.calconnect.org/news. We've also put a redirect in on the old blog site so anyone with a bookmark to the old blog will wind up on the new news feed. In the process, virtually all of the old blog entries have been ported into the new site so you can still reference old blog entries.
Registration is now open for CalConnect's first event in Asia: CalConnect XXXVI, April 18-22 2016, in Hong Kong, hosted by Ribose and OGCIO (the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer).

We would like to draw your attention to a few highlighted conference sessions:
Wednesday May 20:
CalConnect XXXII is next week — January 26-30, in San Jose, California. And the 10th anniversary celebration is Wednesday the 28th from noon to six, with a reception to follow. No fee is required to attend the 10th anniversary celebration, but you do have to register so we know how many are coming! See CalConnect 10th Anniversary Celebration for more information, the basic schedule, and a link to the registration page. Space has become limited, so register soon if you plan to come!
CalConnect’s first conference was held in January 2005 so the upcoming 32nd conference will be our tenth anniversary meeting – and we’re planning a celebration!
At CalConnect XXXI, hosted by Youcanbook.me in Bedford, United Kingdom, Mike Douglass of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute was honored as our 5th recipient of the Distinguished Service Award.
Mike became active in CalConnect in 2005 when Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute joined CalConnect, and has remained intensely involved ever since. He is an engaged participant and presenter at CalConnect conferences. He has attended every event RPI joined CalConnect, save for one he reluctantly missed while recuperating from major surgery – but he did call in when he could!
