Design Calls is ending

I've decided to stop posting designerly CFPs.

I've been posting CFPs to design-related conferences and journals since October 2009. My original plan had been to promote participation by researchers in conferences and journals, and also to try to build a small community of like-minded people, who could afford a little time to post CFPs with me.

A lot has changed since 2009, both with me personally and with the way information is disseminated on the web. 

As I start approaching retirement, I need to trim back on some activities for the sake of focusing on my teaching and on preparing some kind of corpus of my non-published material that I can leave behind. Not that I think I'm all that special, of course. I just would like to think that all the stuff I've done might someday be useful to someone else.

Sources of information have changed a lot in the last 12 years too. It's much easier today to find out about conferences and journals, so I must wonder just how much impact this blog has any more. Furthermore, the emergence of predatory journals and conferences has significantly lowered the signal-to-noise ratio, and it's getting harder and harder for me to tell legitimate venues from those rather disgusting knock-offs.

And the small community of like-minded people never really did materialize. I myself have posted virtually every CFP here. I deeply appreciate the efforts of those who did post here and I don't mean to diminish their contributions - but it's less of a response than I was hoping for.

Put all that together, and I can't see any reasonable alternative to ending this part of my online existence.

I will leave this blog up as long as I can - for "archival purposes". But there will be no new posts.

Thanks for your readership through the years.

  1. Dear Mr. Salustri

    Truly 'there is an appointed time for every purpose under the sun' (Ecclesiastes 3). Wisdom consists in identifying that time.
    Every contribution is useful at some point, and yours was no different. The information was very useful to me at some point and I was amused by your acid comments.
    Appreciate.
    always be well

  4. Thank you for providing this source of information for many years. The calls have been immensely useful for me and my colleagues. I ask you and others on here, any recommendations for where to find calls?
