Proposals for INkshed XV have been arriving despite the absence of Canada Post. Thanks to all, and the Email and fax lines are still open... My curious observation is as follows: fully 100% of the proposers so far are women. I wonder if there's any significance here -- are women more interested in the topic? are they better at observing deadlines? The proposals all look very promising so far, but there aren't quite enough to fill a programme, even with reading and inkshedding time.
