IS early 2010 better, taking advantage of Southern summer in addition to more preparation time? I would really like a proper, robust, Africa-focused event. Related to that, it seems that few Europeans and Americans (from the Americas) would be able to go... and that is fine... yet still other parts of Africa are quite distant from RSA, so travel support is essential. I would also like the Network and organisers to take care of its Prague-based staff and volunteers and make sure that ALL of them can work at and attend the event. - T Carlosfelipe Pardo wrote: > Great idea, especially if Lloyd is on board.
