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.

Update June 2007

Posted by Knut on June 26, 2007

Just a quick word.

The overall agenda for the G Summit is now in place. Meaning,

  • dates are set
  • draft program is in place
  • steering committee is, almost, in place
  • book scenario is in place
  • people are working on short speeches for the summit (Harry and Maurizio)
  • the blog is in place, and seems to be working ok

The interest has been very positive. Some 10 people have openly expressed intentions of going (I know there are more), and 3 people already have their personal presentation on the blog. Hopefully there will be many more over the coming months. So, if you have intentions of attending, please state it. If you already have decided going, then have a presentation of yourself in. This is interesting reading for all who pops by the blog, and may drive even more participants.

I have started working to get contacts directly in Berlin, who can make the summit even more worth while. When I have news about this, it will be posted to the blog. I will continue to update the blogroll. If you find good links, then please let me know.

I just wanted this quick word to say thanks for the support so far. Please stay tuned, and please pass the blog’s URL on to G users you might know, who would take an interest in the summit.

Best regards

Knut
