The Voynich Ninja

Here is the final and definitive schedule for #VMD24!
All times are in CEST. I will be hosting a continuous zoom meeting which can be joined freely. I will upload the whole thing to YouTube afterwards, but of course it would be great if you are able to be part of the live audience. This will also give you the opportunity to ask questions to presenters.

What a collection of great contributors.... I am sure this will be a wonderful event!

Voynich Day is in two days! Who will attend (part of) the presentations? 

Don't hesitate to share the event through other channels!

I plan to attend, but will be traveling, so I may be at the mercy of a hotel's wireless quality.

I'll be there!

Should non-mailing list members be able to join the Zoom?

Yes, I set it so that people join with sound and video disabled. So if any malicious people join, the worst they could do is spam the chat. And then I assume I can just kick them out. So I am not too worried about this. Either way, the link had already been shared through various external channels, so that cat was out of the bag. But I think that's fine: more people watching live means more chance of Q&A interaction.

Probably we will learn a lot from this first edition about what works and what doesn't, what can be improved etc.

I should be there for the whole event.

I will be there as long as I can, probably also till the end.
I shared the Zoom link with several external, absolutely safe, guests.

Hi, Koen:

I will be there for at least Keagan's, mine, and Emma May's presentation.  Since I'm on the West Coast now it starts at (gulp) 3AM which is tough as I am going to be using my new office internet and computer set up for reliability and stability.  Apartment set up is still a work in progress.  

But I will definitely watch the rest on YouTube.  Thanks again for organizing.
