Re: computer-go: FOST/ ING this year?

[stefanmertin@xxxxxxxxxxx (Stefan Mertin)]

Thank you very much for these informations,

being on this computer-GO list and looking around through several internet pages 
doesn´t allways guarantee to become the most important news concerning 
Computer-Go, but where else...?

I was visiting the European computer-GO-tournament in Berlin-Strausberg on 
August 9. - Only one of the five participants did even know that there was an 
other computer-GO-tournament later in August at the mindsports-olympiade in 
London, nobody did know anything about the computer-GO-tournament in Denver on 
August 6-8. 

I guess participants, public and sponsors will not be very easy to be gained for 
our events if nobody knows about... *

So please let us continue sharing informations:

Will there be an ING-Computer-Go-Tournament this year? 
Where will it take place?
Who will participate?
Are there other Computer-Go events this year? 
...

Thanks again and best greetings,
Stefan Mertin
