[Conference] Voynich Manuscript Day short slots and deadline extension

[Koen G]

The deadline for submitting presentations for Voynich Manuscript Day, to be held on 3 August, has passed. However, we still have room for 2 ca. 30-minute presentations, so the deadline is extended to july 31st. Don't hesitate to contact me with proposals or questions!

Additionally, we are trying something new this year. I will hereby post six 10-minute time slots (all in CEST). Claim one in this thread and it's yours, to do or present anything Voynich-related you like.

• 13:00
  
• 13:10
  
• 13:20
  
• 14:00
  
• 14:10

Tell us about your favorite folio, some ongoing research, something that's bothering you about the MS or its study, read an ode to your favorite Voynich forum moderator...   It can be as serious or as silly as you like.

First come, first served, so claim a slot and it's yours.

I will be happy to take the first slot (13:00) to provide some details of the book sale to Rudolf, with lots of nice pictures.

Here is my R$0 bid. I have no preference about the time.  I could discuss my thoughts on how the VMS was created and how that affects the attempts at "decipherment".  I promise to not to bore you with what my theory is (but only mention that it is definitely the right one   )

All the best, --jorge

Jorge Stolfi for VMD 2025 confirmed! Who would have thought. How about right after Rene?

It is entirely your choice, of course, but I for one would not mind if you thought you could fill more than 10 minutes, and used one of the longer slots...

[Koen G]

Definitely, 10 minutes is pretty short.

[ChrisG]

Mr Koen I would like to take the 30 mins slot, could we have a brief meeting to show you the interesting discoveries beforehand?

[Koen G]

Hi Chris,

Please send me a private message with a brief explanation of what you'd like to talk about. Or you can email me at my gmail: koengheuens@...

[Jorge_Stolfi]

Thans for the offer, but...

I could talk for more than 30 minutes about the "Chinese" theory, but I would rather not do it yet.  It is enough to discuss it here in this forum and my webpages.  So I would rather present a few observations and arguments that may be helpful to any Voynichologist, of whatever persuasion. And I do't think I have more than 10 minutes worth of those...

All the best, --jorge
