ESBN-GATHERING
> 
> Martin!
> 
> Thank You for the encouragenment and here it is; the invitation proposal.
> Please read it and let me know if it is O.K. !?
> If You have any suggestions let me know and I will add it or change it.
> In the case that everything is allright, I will put the invitation into the
> network.

> THIS IS THE ANSWER FROM MARTIN OEHLMANN FOR STOJAN
> 
> Dear Stojan,
> 
> Sorry for responding so late. E-mailing is still improvisation with a French
> and Dutch provider together, whilst being in Brittany this month. They don't
> like to be together in the computer.
> 
> Actually I am pondering about the character of the »workshop«. I feel its
> better to call it wallraising, as this is a most communual form of raising the
> walls. Also if anyone experienced from the network joins the coaching part it
> feels better as this is a communual gathering in which everybody contributes
> in his/her own way.
> 
> I would say if there are new unexperienced people, they will perceive the
> wallraising as a workshop. If you ask people to contribute financially for the
> workshop in form of a donation and quote the estimated costs its ok. Otherwise
> Rengeo does have some profit from the building and he might be able to cover
> food, drinks etc. during the wallraising. So ideally participation is free for
> SBN-members as they already offer their know how.
> 
> Prices: People in the US offer people from Europe a lower rate, as its more
> expensive for us to join their gatherings. So we did vice versa in Denmark.
> 
> Another point is: 'interested people from Slovenia«: The character of the
> gathering is usually one of people who already are active in that field.
> Otherwise we spend much of the precious time with answering the basic
> questions. Interested people from Slovenia could take part in the wallraising
> and its also possible to have a presentation during an evening. We could start
> this wallraising with that presentation which at the same time explains the
> steps to be done during the wallraising. So it could be both introduction and
> presentation for people who do have time to join the wallraising and for those
> who have not.
> 
> If you introduce the programme to the network, please ask people to bring
> their slides, etc and if you get an overview how many contributions you will
> have, you can schedule a rough time table...
> 
> I like very much the opportunity to see a little from the country and meet
> people.... If possible Marianne, my wife, will join me....
> 
> Also its interesting to find out if people can join each other during the
> trip, share car or even bus etc.
> 
> 
> So here are Martin´s proposals:
