The community would greatly benefit if you could request your keynote speakers and presenters emphasize that politicians and bureaucrats making such changes need to publish each such announcement months in advance, in an official legal form, in an online government gazette or legal regulation announcement news feed, with links to the official announcement distributed widely to public media sources, for it to be acted on in time by the chain of database and software developers, quality control and release engineering, and distribution networks. -- Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada This email may be disturbing to some readers as it contains too much technical detail. Reader discretion is advised.
