Jaakko Tuohiniemi schickt seinen Bericht aus Finland und hat freundlicherweise einen englischen Abstract beigefügt: (Some Personal Highlights of Vienna IAML Conference): Instead of being able to list only “the one best” of all of the wealth of the meeting, the author lists various “greatest” moments of the overheated week, viz from some excellent individual presentations to the happy-ending election in Council and from quality concerts to spirited collegial company.

For those of you who did not attend the Conference in Vienna last week it is my pleasure to announce the result of the elections for the positions as President and Vice-Presidents:

President:

Barbara Mackenzie, RILM Editor-in-Chief

Vice-Presidents:

Johan Eeckeloo, Conservatory Brussels
Antony Gordon, British Library
Joseph Hafner, McGill University
Stanisław Hrabia, Jagiellonian University, Krakow

I am including a summary of the Council meeting in Vienna. Please, note that this is not the final minutes. There will be an announcement when the minutes from the Council meeting and General Assembly will be available on the IAML website.

This report is a real challenge for your translation program: Jürg Obrecht from Switzerland reports from the excursion "Fin de Siècle". His language is ... Schwyzerdütsch: Wi jede Midwuch i-n-ere IAML-Konferänz hei mer ou das Mou zwüsche verschidene Exkursione chönne wähle.

Frida Røsand's diary entry comes from the far north, from Norway: Det foredraget som jeg på forhånd var mest spent på, var «Orchestral sheet music replaced by tablet computers. New trends in software development». Foredragsholdere var Jonas Coomans og Bob Hamblok fra neoScores i Brussel.
