Newsletter of the
Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability
Vol.7, No.1 (May 2000)
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing editor and welcome the new editor of Bernoulli News. Angelika May has been an exemplary editor since taking over that position from Claudia Klüppelberg. She has recently moved from the Technical University of Munich to the Center for Advanced European Studies and Research in Bonn and has asked to be replaced as editor. On behalf of the Bernoulli Society I want to thank her for her service. She will be succeeded by Adelchi Azzalini of the University of Padua. Starting immediately, communications about Bernoulli News should be sent to him. His E-mail address is azzalini@stat.unipd.it.

Some changes have been introduced in the format of the newsletter. Of these, the most relevant one is in its electronic version. The new version has active Web links, which should make easier to explore Web sites of conferences and other projects. A rather plain HTML 3.2 syntax has been adopted, avoiding unusual HTML constructs, in the attempt to make the hypertext readable by all commonly-used Web-browsers. Suggestions for improvements are welcome, of course.
