[VM DAY] Schedule Planning - Koen G - 16-07-2024

Most of the planning for VM Day was being done by Mary, but we have not heard from her in a while. Rene tried emailing her, but so far without an answer. First of all, I really hope she is okay, and it is just work preventing her from following up on Voynich stuff. Either way, Voynich Manuscript Day is rapidly approaching, and I am still set to host it August 4th, from CEST 12:00pm-7:00pm. Just in case we are not able to reach Mary soon, I would like to schedule the events that will certainly happen. Since I was not involved too much in planning, I will need your help.

  • Please respond to this thread if you are planning to do something for VM day. 
  • Did you already get a time slot? And if not, what is your preferred time slot? (Please provide the time you will need to present your research/music/art etc. We can then add some extra time for Q&A and buffer).
  • Do you know of any forum-external people that were committed and should be informed?

We will figure out a schedule in this thread. I will do two presentations myself (one about a research topic, one about the State of the Voynich poll), which I will fit into whatever time is left.

I was planning to send a link to my music composition to merri via private messages. Can I send it to you instead? It's not finished yet but it will be before August 4th.


RE: [VM DAY] Schedule Planning - Koen G - 16-07-2024

Yeah, if merri hasn't showed up yet by the time you're ready, you can just send it to me.

Hi, Koen. 

I'm down to present research.  I haven't got a timeslot yet.  Happy to go first or whenever.  In my submission, I said it would be 25 mins (+q&a) but if there can be flex, I would like to extend that since it seems a bit optimistic.


RE: [VM DAY] Schedule Planning - Emma May Smith - 16-07-2024

Hello Koen
  • I have a presentation for research.
  • No time slot given. Would prefer later to earlier, but no specific time.
  • I was told 25 minutes for presentation and 5 for Q&A. My talk is complete and timed at 20:15, so can flex down five minutes if needed. (I doubt there'll be many questions.)
  • All my materials (video, handouts) are ready to send, if/when they're wanted.



RE: [VM DAY] Schedule Planning - Koen G - 16-07-2024

This would give us something like this for the presentations I have information on so far, to be completed with estimated durations. All times are CEST.

Tavie: 12pm to... ?
Patrick Feaster: 2PM to...?
Keagan: 3PM to... ?
Michelle: after Keagan, to...?
EMS: after Michelle


My presentations and two music presentations (Rene and Lissu) are to be fitted in. Cary will also present a video about an art piece, which can be fitted in whenever (she'll be with me in Austria). Who am I forgetting?


RE: [VM DAY] Schedule Planning - ReneZ - 17-07-2024

Your post #6 includes everyone that I am aware of.
Was there any serious mention of a cake, or other food-related subjects?
Maybe that was just my imagination...

For my part, all my material is ready now.

I would need about 20 minutes for a talk (slides are now finalised).

At the start of the day I would post a link to a web page that provides quite a few pieces of example music.
This can be used by everyone, offline, throughout the day (and after). A paper with more details than the talk will also be made available.

Due to my time offset I would appreciate a slot between 13:00 and 15:00 CEST.


RE: [VM DAY] Schedule Planning - Koen G - 17-07-2024

Maybe 13:30, before Patrick?

Fine for me!


RE: [VM DAY] Schedule Planning - Koen G - 18-07-2024

Updated rough schedule. Let me know if anything in this is inconvenient for anyone.

12:00-12:40 - Tavie (research presentation)
12:40-13:?? - Koen (research presentation)
13:30-14:00 - Rene (music presentation)
14:00-14:30 - Patrick (research presentation)
14:30-15:00 - Koen (State of the Voynich presentation)
15:00-15:45 - Keagan (research presentation)
16:00-16:30 - Michelle (research presentation)
16:30-17:00 - Emma (research presentation)

This leaves me with Cary's art video and Lissu's music, which I would like to reserve to be played whenever a larger gap occurs. This will give me and the speakers quite a bit of flexibility. If no gap occurs, they can be played after Emma's presentation.
