No mention here, but a pretty rare event for Japan, and even possible that
someone around here is interested, so...

The 14th WWW conference is coming to Japan next month. http://www2005.org/
for information. Featured speakers include Berners-Lee himself, father of
the WWW. If you hate travel as much as I do, it's your big chance. There
aren't many conferences at this level, and they don't make the rounds to
Japan very often.
