The 2020 motss.con was to be in Dublin IE but was
postponed to 2021 and moved online to Zoom due to the
COVID–19 pandemic. |

The 2021 motss.con was to be in Dublin IE but was
moved online to Zoom due to the continuing pandemic. The
Dublin proposal was subsequently withdrawn. |
| ³ |
|
The 2024 motss.con was to be in Dublin IE but was
canceled when only five people could commit to going on
the selected dates. |
Any con whose number is not in boldface is one I did not
attend. While there wasn't a formal con.report after the second
(Boston MA, 1989) motss.con, I did reconstruct the itinerary from
physical archives.
I was on the planning committees for both the 1996 Chicago con (ix) and the 2013 Ann Arbor con (xxvi).
Via Zoom
During the COVID-19 pandemic we switched to an irregular set of
meetings over Zoom, that in 2023 et seq. became more of a monthly
check-in:
