Ver 1.0 kicks off. Statician George Duncan opening speaker.
April 9th, 2006 by JTJ

Late this afternoon, the 20 participants in Ver 1.0
will be gathering at the Inn of the Governors in Santa Fe, NM for the
first session of the workshop.  The first, set-the-tone speaker is
George Duncan, professor of statistics at Carnegie Mellon University.  George will be speaking on “
Statistical
Confidentiality: What Does It Mean for Journalists’ Use of Public Databases?

We will post George's address as soon as possible, along with those of other participants in coming days.

We
are very pleased with high-powered thinkers who are in or coming to
Santa Fe to address the major problem of how do we verify the data in
public records databases.  The proceedings of the workshop will,
we hope, be published by the end of the month and also available online.
