Well done SF - this result was a hard-fought one and deserves a hearty bout of cross border congratulation.

We just got news from our Dept. of Foreign Affairs that they will grant free visas to our guests to attend easa008! not only will this be of financial benefit to our guests but the accompanying support of the Dept. will be very useful should any problems arise. they will send us an official letter which we will scan and issue to all of our guests to add to their application documents. they will obviously inform the embassies/consulates directly too. once we receive this letter we will begin to issue our letters of invitation, along with any other important information regarding...

yes, you are right. I double checked every information available on the net about these issues and it resulted to me that our embassy is in Athens. Can you please give me a hint about what visa category it's better to apply for ? At this step of the processing, this would be the most important information. thanks, Klejdi* :-) PS. I used the name of the character of a wonderful book "Odin Modvalsen" when I signed up and have no chance to set it to my real name...

No, there is not an Irish embassy in Skopje. The one for the Macedonian citizens is in Bratislava, so we're going to send our documents there. I think you should ask in your ministry of foreign affairs in which country's Irish embassy you should apply for visa, I think it's not just any country.. Cheers :)

Hello, I think we're neighbors down here...do you have any irish embassy in skopje ? Tirana doesn't have one and to get the visa one has to apply at the closest irish embassy - I think..I mean, people here apply through the Irish Emb. in Athens - Greece. An embassy in Skopje would be a really good reason to make a 3-day trip back in Macedonia, as I often visit there. Where do you get your visas from ? cheers

This was right on time! I guess the procedure stays the same, but it is moneyless :) hehe www.mfa.gov.mk How so very convenient, I bet the organizing team pulled some strings for this.. ;)

just saw on rte today... "Plan to make Dublin city centre car-free" www.rte.ie "A plan that would close off large sections of Dublin city centre to all private traffic is being considered. The plan envisages 350 extra buses, with services running at 10 minute intervals off-peak and three minute intervals at peak times. The closure could be implemented in April 2009. " video: Ray Colgan reports that there are plans to ban private cars from parts of Dublin city centre www.rte.ie audio: Frank Fahey, Chairman of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport, says large sections of Dublin city centre could be closed to all private cars www.rte.ie and in...

Participatory Urban Design & the Future of Alternative Communities. > Mechanisms of communication to truly democratise our world. KRAX really rocked, only got there for a few bits of the encuentro, but what i saw, heard, met, learned was very very inspiring. There is so much going on globally, so much we know about, but so much we dont. Simple clear open effective mechanisms of commmunication, both in terms of mechanisms but also as physical systems/ groups / networks allow us to get deeper into whats going on... KRAX is one such mechanism...this was its second year of open gathering, it will...

Hey, I wrote you guys an email (actually I wrote to Sean's email add and to the participation one) and I'm expecting a fax from you. Just checking if you have seen it, so I can transfer the money today.. Nevenka

thnx ...very much...very useful:) so see u there.. joana

workshops, sleeping quarters, hygiene and eating facilities will be accommodated at the O’Donnell Tuomey-designed Letterfrack Furniture College. But if you wish you can also sleep under the stars.. :) Usually we sleep on scaffolding, which means bring your sleeping bag and preferable an inflatable mattress. Hope you find the info useful, see you in August. sasa.

hello easa team! Ithink i read most of the informations given,the thing that is not so much clear to me is the participant acomodation.So i just needed to know where are the participants suposed to stay,sleep and eat during through all the activity....It will be provided any certain place or we have to get sleeping bags and train ourselfes in sleeping under the stars(its not a bad idea for sure)...if anybody has any informations about how it was organised the other years ...i would really apriciate any answer... thnx for all ,joana.

why isint the website operational yet? No offence to the work done already but its pretty useless until its finished. Please pull your socks up and finish what you started for sake of god!!

The office where im working at the moment is looking for an architect, my boss asked me if i had any connections with youngs architects from abroad...so i thought it might interest some easa people! Its quite an uncommon office as we deal the most of the time with projects from others architects, we are specialized in the facades, so imagine Zaha Hadid is calling us to make the facade of her new building !!(and not only her haha)and we work as well as a typical architecture office. The team is awesome, you learn a lot, you are really in charge...

Hi Kotryna, Skype should be possible, but it's a lot of hassle when anything that needs to be said can be done via email Ronan

Thx Conor!

can I reach any of the organizers by skype? It's quite urgent ;-)

Apologies for lack of clarity but we have been dealing with this on a case by case basis up until now. The guest policy for EASA 008 is; We will provide an evening meal for guest for e10. We will not provide accommodation or transport for guests of EASA008. As we are not accommmodating guests ourselves how many and how long is not so important. However, all NCs should notify us of guests details; ie. how long, how many, do they want evening meal, etc in the next month. There is plenty accommodation in Letterfrack(which is tiny by the way); [Old Monestary Hostel ]Price e20-25...

Damn these visa issues...arrrrr...:) Unfortunately, I am not a UK resident and of course on the list of countries that need a visa for pretty much every piece of the face of earth, hah not for Turkey though:) xmx Vera

I have ppl consistently asking me .. as they could not make it into the quota. How will it work this year .. how many, how long, how much .. you know .. "The organizers should specify a clear guest policy concerning entrance to the assembly and length of stay, depending upon available space and security issues. This guest policy should be released together with applications." [p. 15] I thank you for all the work you are doing, patiently waiting for this summer to come.. :) sasa.
