Ok, the EASA site is almost being almost finished... so u can all get a look at it and share your opinion.
so u can take a look at it at:
www.chickme.org/easa
>> HUGE credit to Hana Draskovic (Serbia) for doing such a great job!!!! and offcourse ALL of Archive team!
take in consideration:

2. GO TO easa005 Switzerland to see how it works---only that link is finished (except for the gallery)!
3. Someone mentioned a DOMAIN we already have so please come back to us for that... Hana needs to upload this stuff we have, so Luka can continue uploading the whole archive!!
4. FAQ's is empty because we never discussed about them after INCM in Motovun. So, PLEASE read through this following list of FAQuestions (from INCMMotovun) before we put them on the site so we can hear different opinions on it.
FAQ LIST:
1. What is EASA?
2. What is the aim of an EASA?
3. How do I participate?
4. Who chooses the participants?
5. When does EASA happen and how it is decided where?
6. Who chooses the theme of every EASA?
7. How much it costs to participate?
8. Can someone that finished University attend?
9. What are duties of a participant?
10. What should one bring to EASA?
11. What’s the accomodation like?
12. What is a NC?
13. What is an INCM?
14. What is a SESAM?
15. My country does not have a NC, who should I get in touch with?
16. If I am not from Europe can I still attend?
17. If I am not an architect can I still attend?
Thanx,
Dijana

"Long distance call" |

Embarrassing sound from dead body...
My dear Easian fellows, this is a voice from newest architect in my country since I've finished with my graduation last week. It took me embarrassing three months to complete that crap... As my co-workshoppers know, I was going to continue with developing code for archive web-site as soon as I graduate. Instead of going in kilometers with my words, I will ask Luis and other people that were in same workshop with me what happened from Greece, 'cause I haven't had time to stay in line with you. Only thing that Dubravko and Balsa said to me was that more people are involved in this "Hampster-project" of ours :+)
So, I plead that someone write letter containing informations about all things that are changed, and of definite structure look.
I'll be back in shape in a week (just to reset my brain :+) So, I wish you all happiest New Year and all other days and holidays that are coming!!!

Web site- Main structure |
| posted by dijana omeragic on Tuesday, 4. December 2007, 22:06 in topic: archive |
Ok, the web is finally under programmin. So, here for everyone to see is the structure of the site the Archive group made on the INCM007 in Motovun, so if anyone has some suggestions or comments feel free.. It's better to discuss this now then after the programming is done and then we'll have to redo stuff. And people, please be precise and offer solutions if you think something should be different.
Thanx,
Dijana

for whatever reason i cannot send email from here. therefor you get the easa-website-infos this way. as stories fastly disappear on this blog and we may need to discuss quit a lot of things, it would be nice if this text will be included in the finalreport of the INCM. however, thanks carla for english-improvement!
Easaonline.net
The Website should basically help to fulfil the „aims of easa“, on which were agreed at the INCM in Motovun. These aims are to increase the productivity and strengths of the network and improve the quality of easa in the longterm by finding suitable participants.
Structure
The websiteproject consists of an official and mainly static part; the website itself, and external links to dynamic platforms such as the blog, a calendar, the facebook-, flicker- and youtubegroup.
The official part of the website is meant for sponsors but should also provoke the interest of future participants.
frontpage: basic explanation of easa, links to the easaguide and upcoming events. It’s the first impression for many future sponsors and participants and should therefore contain a very well written introduction with a fantastic picture. (image1)
Archive: a well organised and carefully edited range of information about the past easas. You can browse historically, geographically (map), or by content/keywords (searchbuttons).
The subpoint “facts” contains statistical data and things that are not related to a specific year (important discussions on the blog, …)
Each event consists (if available) of a short description of the theme and place, the best photos, a list of participants/organisers and specific downloads (such as final report, umbrella, logo-competition, workshop-posters…)
Contacts: description of what NCs are and do and a NC-list that doesn’t display the email-address (spam-prevention) and which can be updated by NCs on their own. If one clicks on a name in order to contact the NC, a textbox will appear.
Links: links to the different external platforms.
These links are external for several reasons: the offers exist, are free and are used by us anyway. Sponsors shouldn’t necessarily come across them, as they show the more vivid part of easa as well. For the same reason, future participants SHOULD come across them, also accidentally. This is possible due to their implemention in larger systems and networks. They provide a kind of huge, self-organised (or rather unorganized some case), flexible and fun-to-browse-through archive.
Flicker/youtube: the continuing growth of media production during the easas, incms and sesams requires a pre-selection-pool for the future archive. Everyone should be encouraged to publish his Photos and videos so that the archive-group can pick the very best.
The collection of videos and fotos might show a “real” image of easa. People that are browsing youtube for architecture-related videos might come across our group, might get interested and if their arch-students, might want to join us.
Facebook: facebook could be used to increase the easa-network. It’s easy to find and contact people you met. Everyone is using it anyway and there is already a easa-group. But we could take a step further and encourage every future-participant to create an account, join the group and make it easy to stay in touch with easa-friends (there’s a threshold to use the blog for new participants).
While the group is growing, arch-students that are browsing facebook for architecture related groups will find us, might check the official site, the external links and so forth and if they’re easians in their soul, they’ll try to attend the next easa and we have a larger pool to chose from.
There should be around 5000 easians out there. Our ancients might help us further with the archive (there’s still shitloads missing!!!).
European-wide calendar: there’s obviously a lot going on concerning architecture and easa all over Europe. The “google-calendar” would allow us to share this information (even sync it with your personal calendar on the computer). While doing so, we automatically create a nice overview during the years…
Access would only be provided for NCs. It’s a experiment, we’ll see if it works…go for it!
www.google.com
Blog: the current blog is the most important communication-tool for easa and frequently used. There are problems such as too many topics, the fast disappearance of important issues that should be discussed for a long time.
There are far better solutions that would provide better organisation and therefore better discussion. We’re searching for them and will discuss them with NCs before we make the switch.
Anyway thanks a lot to marko and the others that kept the blog running for such a long time!
Logo:
After a successful competition in Greece, the archive-group chose a late attendant (Ronan_ire) that was rather an open platform than a fixed graphic design, and represents therefore represents easa the best.
The basic idea is a box that can be used or abused in any possible way, according to the event it stands for. The sides may contain the logo of the next easa, sesam and incm or display the main themes, something else or nothing at all. The box can be physically built or used symbolic in another Logo…
Although the common base should be kept, we’ll hopefully see dozens of different Logos during the next years.
Domain
As easa.net is taken already easaonline.net fits the content the best. Although it’s not bought yet and other proposals are still welcome!
Schedule/tasks
The graphic design and structure so far was finished during the INCM07 in Motovun. The programming and administrative work will be done during the next month. It might take quite a while to fill in the archive with the stuff we already have…
There won’t be anymore archive-workshop during the easas. Some tasks, like scanning, can be done as duties by volunteers. The update and revision will be undertaken during the INCM by the archivegroup.
Easa:
(participants)
creating stuff, setting it on flicker, youtube
NO workshop but duties (volunteer) for scanning
INCM:
(NC’s/Archivegroup)
Update, revision, development
Select content from flicker, youtube
Throughout the year:
Googlecalendar (NC’s), blog
Update NC-list (NCs)
Keep website running (Archive-group)
A last word:
We chose to reduce the archive drastically as we see no point in putting thousands of photos online that no one will ever browse through. We also skipped a lot of ways to browse through the archive in order to keep a healthy simplicity a.k.a user-friendliness.
This proposal is the first one to be set online. We’d like to encourage everyone to join the discussion and help improve the website in structure, content and appearance. This won’t be a definitive version but rather transform throughout the years
We would thank the past archive-groups for the very helpful pre-work that has been done in Moscow and Greece!
Thanks a million, dear Croatian organisers! We wouldn’t have been able to do this without the wonderful easa-atmosphere that you created in Motovun!

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...
by irish_sean @ 2008-05-12 12:54
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,

by odin modvalsen @ 2008-05-11 01:19
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 :)
by nevenka_mkd @ 2008-05-10 17:53
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

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.

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.

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...

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);

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]
