The first event of this conference series (ICESTI 2014) will be held in
Bali, Indonesia
Let's all fly to Bali in the name of sustainability and preserving the
planet, and damn the CO2 created by doing so.
Pennywise and pound-foolish perhaps? If spending a few thousand tonnes of
CO2 enables the saving of a few million tonnes, I think that would be
well worth it.
Of course, Bali happens to be one of the premier holiday destinations in
the world. Presumably that's completely a coincidence...
If this had been held for moderation and I were the one responding to
it, I would have discarded it as commercial spam. Many such conferences
detached from professional societies are profit-seeking enterprises. I
consider both the cross-posting and location as evidence that this might
be true of this conference.
