We send the following email to everyone we knew was at DannyFest, but we know many others would like to know about it. So here is the message, repeated.
We have not been able to collect the contributions, yet, and have sent another message extending the deadline to 15 Fev, so if you working on one, please get in touch!
NB: Here's the Latex template for articles in the book, do let us know of any problems.
Dear all,
Time passes fast, too fast for most of us to notice and today is Danny Bobrow’s eighty-first birthday. It may be hard to believe, but Dannyfest, that wonderful celebration of Danny’s life and work took place eight years ago and so it is certainly time, way past time actually, to put together a collection of papers and more informal short pieces in honor of our friend who has been such a wonderful collaborator and mentor for so many of us.
Happily, we have recently received confirmation from Dov Gabbay that he would be happy to publish a volume in the Tributes Series of College Publications. Our plan is to initially publish the volume as an e-book so that it can be put out quickly and so that Danny can enjoy it as soon as possible. The printed version will appear soon afterwards.
We are writing to you now to ask you to contribute a paper or reminiscence. While the papers should be around 10 printed pages in length, the more personal tributes could be as long or as short as you wish. While we have waited far too long in making this happen, we believe that it is important to work as fast as we can now. Therefore, we are asking if you would be willing to prepare your contribution by the middle of January, 2017, since that would be ideal. We do have videos available of the papers that were presented at the celebration. They are in YouTube’s Dannyfest playlist on the channel http://www.youtube.
In order to permit a very fast turn around from submission to publication, we are requesting that submissions be prepared in latex using a template we will make available to you, when you reply to this email. But contributions in Word format are perfectly acceptable as well.
With best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season and hopes to hear from you soon,
Valeria, Cleo, Livia and Johan
