We discuss a notion of forcing that characterises enumeration 1- genericity and we investigate the immunity, lowness and quasiminimality properties of enumeration 1-generic sets and their degrees.

Ivan and I visited Leeds and presented our work at the Leeds Logic Seminar, invited us to his home and took us on a trip to Whitby, In 2006, on one such visit, right after the CiE conference in Swansea, Barry and Michael Rathjen suggested that, Sofia University host the Logic Colloquium. Fig. In that month, he e-mailed me, inviting me to take part in a project proposal for a European network, of researchers doing computability theory.

Upon his return to Leeds, Barry remained politically active. Barry founded the Turing Centenary Advisory Committee, which coordinated conferences, workshops, scientific programs, and many other projects throughout the year, account, and a facebook page of the Alan Turing Y, which he made great progress in bringing Turing the recognition that he deserved, leading ultimately to T, With Arnold Beckmann, Benedikt Löwe, Elvira Mayordomo, and Nigel Smart, Barry organised a six-month, program, “Syntax and Semantics”, at the Isaac Newton Research Institute in Cambridge, meant to bring together, researchers whose mathematical work related to the that of Alan Turing in Logic, Complexity, Randomness.
