Since activity has calmed here, I have remove two dates from the poll that ha= ve been a no from a number of people which only leaves us with two dates. I w= ill try to narrow this down with the relevant people hopefully by the end of = the week. I have also done more research into accommodation and other organisational th= ings and realised that booking something as early as possible it the best str= ategy for us. Hotels have very generous cancellation policies so that we won= =E2=80=99t lose any money in case we are unable to proceed with the entire ev= ent. That=E2=80=99s why I am going to move everything forward as quickly as p= ossible so that we don=E2=80=99t pay any excess for short notice planning. To organise all the logistics, I have set up a new mailing list and sent out = invitations to all people who took part in the poll. Please look out for that= and subscribe to the list as soon as possible. I will use that to communicat= e anything that does not need to be done in public like logistics and so on. = For all the rest, let=E2=80=99s keep the conversation going on here.

We will work on the basis of current government= guidelines and on the assumption that they won=E2=80=99t change before the t= ime of our event and/or plan with a little bit of contingency space. I believ= e this is the best we can do because anything better than that would require = us having a crystal ball. That means that - unless guidelines change - we wil= l only be able to admit people to the event who have either been vaccinated o= r have proof of recovery from corona virus.

Please be generous and try to be as accommodating as possible (otherwise= we will end up with at least one person being always unavailable). This is n= ot binding yet, but we would like to get a close number of how many people wi= ll actually join in order to plan the event at a right size. >=20 > Please also start thinking about what you can contribute to the event.
