We're in full process of making the final program for the conference
day of the European Straw Bale Gathering, a day which can include
about 40 more people (that's what the conference room at the local
hotel can accommodate). We expect this event to attract the
non-English speaking CZ/SK interested parties; architects, engineers,
educators, researchers and hopefully some decision makers within
construction. Hence the event will be simultaneously interpreted to
Czech language, and priced to cover the added cost of translation.
Eventually the presentations will be made available online by Michal
Napierzynski www.dobraidea.pl <http://www.dobraidea.pl> , just like he
already did with last weekends excellent 'Cohabitat'
<http://vimeo.com/22005530> conference in Poland.
The format of the conference is the trendy TED format; headset
microphone, multimedia and 17 minutes max. per speaker, 18 speakers
during the day. We have selected quite a diverse groups of outstanding
persons within themes such as education, entrepreneurship, research
and techniques, however we would like also to include a presentation
about SB and EU building laws, and still have a tiny amount of space
for another presentation about a unique research, or technique?
Anyone know who knows most about this? Dirk Scharmer?
...Perhaps some of you could help us by urging Canadian Robert W.Tom (Archilogic) to make a 17 min video'ed presentation which we can watch, as he's not likely to fly over? He's a bit shy about answering our mails, but if you all send him a private email he may get the hint? < A r c h i L o g i c at Y a h o o dot C A > I mean, isn't it time we all find out if he's simply a Google/Wikipedia robot?
The Friday evening will be topped off with a unique one in a life time
experience: Rock da Castle!
What's better than "Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band"?
* "Tom Rijven and the
A'dam Straat Band"!*
-A Dutch 7 person band arriving to celebrate the retirement (age) of
Tom among his family of 'Balers'! Certain to fill up the courtyard of
the Bouzov castle...
Sincerely yours,
Max & The ESBG Team
PS: Remember that only way now to gain the early bird discount price
of 150 euro is as a speaker; the ESBG ticket now goes for 200 Euro and
rising... How long do you dare to wait ?! What if ticket sharks
purchase the rest and sell the tickets for 500 Euro?
PS: We now have about 70 participants from: Altai Republic, Austria,
Belarus, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Hungary, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands,
Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and United Kingdom
PS: We hand sowed 1 hectare of long stemmed wheat yesterday;
potentially we can arrange scything course. We are looking for a vegie
farmer for the season; if you know of a skilled person then please
have him/her contact us.
