  5. Any connections with the origin of PATT (the Netherlands)? Yes! • 1642: Abel Tasman from the Netherlands discovers what he calls ‘Nieuw-Zeeland’. • Not a great success: fight with Maori because of miscommunication • But maybe it was a success after all: • Nieuw Amsterdam was sold for almost nothing and became New York (only the name Breukelen survived) • Nieuw-Holland (1644, same Abel Tasman) became Australia • But: Nieuw-Zeeland became: New Zealand!

  6. The Ten Commandments of PATT • Thou shalt not apologise for thy English • There shall be no or almost no parallel sessions • Thou shalt not sneak away during the conference • Thou shalt stay in the same hotel as where the sessions are held • Thou shalt not give long, formal introductions to presenters, except perhaps for special, invited speakers • Thou shalt not use up all the time for thy own voice, but also leave time for discussion with thy neighbor • Thou shalt treat thy colleague attendants almost as family members • Thou shalt make available a text for the Proceedings • Thou shalt pay all thy bills in time and not bother the organisers with that • Thou shalt sincerely intend to come back to the next PATT conference
