[Strawbale] ESBG 2011

Thu Nov 11 18:12:55 CET 2010

Dear all,

I just realized that the mail below was sent in a way so the central link to
our survey did not get displayed.
Here it is:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dFlWcVNOQ0hWS29nejV0dGxfdGV5NWc6MQ

-It was sent to about 500 people, but perhaps you were not among them, your
spam filter might have been too tight? Anyhow here it is. It's only by
filling out the link that you'll really learn about the detailed ESBG 2011
program, and will get your say in various decisions in this regard.

Looking forward to seeing you here next August,
Cheers,
Max
