Draft Program has been Updated

Posted by Knut on August 26, 2007

The Draft Program Page has now been updated.

Since most of us probably will be living in the same area, Charlottenburg, we will have an opportunity to see each other mornings and late evenings. For the same reasons, I HAVE NOT made any suggestions for the so called bar meetings. We have to play that by ear, if at all. It may simply be to much :-) .

However, I have made some suggestions for dinners. Please see below and check out the restaurants, or the restaurant areas, on the net.

For some of these restaurants (probably all) we will need to make reservation. I’ll come back to that later.

Draft Program

Posted by Knut on June 22, 2007

You may recall that we had a poll specifically on the program. I asked for indications as to the duration and frame of program. Out of 13 votes cast, 11 voted for a summit lasting 4 days, 1 for 7 days,  and 1 placed a vote for “other”.

In addition: 6 voters preferred a less intensive program; 4 stated “let’s just go there and play it by the ear”.

So, there seems to be grounds for setting up a summit lasting “4 days, with a less intensive program”. Bearing in mind that 4 voters wanted to “play it by the ear”.

By “Bar Meeting” is meant a gathering in any place that can house a small crowd. Could even be outdoor.

This preliminary agenda will, most surely, be subject to change. I will try to arrange some events that’s interesting enough to make people want to attend.
