FW: [IFIP] H. Poirot Lottery - The Winner + April award
by Augusto Casaca 03 Apr '02

-----Original Message----- From: owner-ifip_ga(a)ifip.or.at [mailto:owner-ifip_ga@ifip.or.at]On Behalf Of Plamen Nedkov Sent: quarta-feira, 3 de Abril de 2002 09:55 To: all Subject: [IFIP] H. Poirot Lottery - The Winner + April award Dear All, Ref. message http://www.ifip.or.at/mail/msg00120.html - Who is the Winner of the Spring-is-in-the-air H. Poirot Lottery? The scene: Early March 1994, two men in Brussels enter the NATO Headquarters to meet with the NATO top brass for science and research so as to investigate whether the "peace dividend" could be extended to support participants in IFIP events. The previous day, the same two men had met with representatives of the European Commission. That meeting with the Commission of the European Communities resulted into a contract which made it possible for 34 participants from Central and Eastern Europe to be financially supported so as to attend the 14th IFIP World Computer Congress' 94 in Germany. [Another significant contract followed in 1995 for INTERACT]. The questions: 1. Who were the two men? 2. On the photo at http://www.ifip.or.at/image/open5.gif the two men appear to be involved in a ceremony. What was the special occasion? 3. From which IFIP Member society were the meetings of the two men arranged in Brussels? 4. Which city was the venue of IFIP Congress 94? 5. Which city will be the venue of IFIP Congress 2004? Deadline for submissions was 29 March 2002; Condition to enter the draw - to submit at least 3 of 5 correct answers The CORRECT answers are: 1. Asbjorn Rolstadas and Plamen Nedkov 2. Opening Ceremony of the IFIP Headquarters and Secretariat in Laxenburg, 6 July 1995 3. Bulgarian Academy of Sciences 4. Hamburg 5. Toulouse FIRST to respond (some minutes after we sent our mail) was Prof. Klaus Brunnstein, IFIP Vice-President and German GA representative. He deserves being singled out as he is a regular contender for "the fastest reply" award. Unfortunately, he did not get the five correct answers to qualify for the special prize but we greatly value the support Klaus gives to our lotteries and we hope he will continue to be active. THE WINNER of the H. Poirot lottery award is Prof. RITA DE CALUWE, Belgian representative to IFIP who got 4 out of 5 correct answers. Congratulations, Rita and we surely hope you will enjoy your special personal copy of the Presidents' interviews. A stumbling block for all was question number 4. Some thought it was GI (Germany) while others believed it to be FAIB (Belgium). The CORRECT answer is Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The meetings with NATO and the CEC were held at the time of IFIP Council ' 94 in Brussels. Greetings, The Delivery Co. P.S. And your April award... Need a Haircut? A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together. After the man received the full treatment - shave, manicure, haircut, etc. - he placed the boy in the chair. "I'm goin' to buy a green tie to wear for the parade," he said. "I'll be back in a few minutes." When the boy's haircut was done and the man still hadn't returned, the barber said, "It looks like your daddy forgot all about you." "That wasn't my daddy," said the boy. "He just walked up, took me by the hand and said, 'Come on, son, we're gonna get a free haircut!'" -------------------------------- Plamen Nedkov Executive Director, IFIP Hofstrasse 3, A-2361 Laxenburg, Austria Tel: +43 2236 73616 Fax: +43 2236 736169 http://www.ifip.org/

by Otto Spaniol 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

Dear all, the venue of meeting 1/2002 is a hotel which has rather limited (and expensive) copy machine facilities. Thus if you have some documents which are not already in the meeting documents (e.g. some late produced WG reports etc.) then please bring 26 copies with you to Saariselkae such that the can be directly distributed to the delegates. Alternatively you could send those documents by electronic mail to Ansa Laakonen <ansa.laakonen(a)hut.fi>. In this case, however, the documents should be there no later than Thrusday early afternoon (Finland time = GMT+3). Best regards and see 25 of you soon Otto
