First of all I'd like to gratulate you for the good organizing you do!!! Second of all I have some questions..

The easa guide BETA that Jurrien sent out says that

"The organisers 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 relased together with applications." [p. 15]

I know it's just Beta work.. but still, have you made any thoughts about guests: how many, how long, how much [$]...

Last thing [this might be a stupid question but hey, this is my first time as nc], the guide says on p. 10:

"Countries apply for their places according to two deadlines: Before the first deadline a country can apply for the maximum number of places their quota allows. After the first deadline the leftover places are counted and placed in five pools, one for each payment group. Before the second deadline, any country can apply for the leftover places from their own payment group."

Did I miss that deadline[s]? If so I'd certainly like to apply for all participants from denmark!!!

Cheers Rune

Dear friends,

WE MANAGED VISAS FOR FREE

PAY ATTENTION do not apply for visas yet,nobody! we will not send any invitations for visas to you yet.

we managed to get ALL VISAS FOR FREE this is the procedure:

till the end of May [after having redistributed possible extra places and decided excact participants],we will give to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs a list with the excact participants that will attend the easa007. The Ministry will send to all embasades a list of participants. When this happens,we [easa007] will send to NCs, of countries that need visa to travel,a form with:

"""complete names,nationalities,passport number and current stay country"""

with this form,each NC will go to his country's greek embassade and give them this form.they will ascertain that these are the names that Greek Ministry has sent them and give you the visas for free!

so please do not forget,NCs that need visas to include this information!!!!

greetings from sunny hot Greece hope we've made you smile a bit

your beloved organisers easa007

About the ARCHIVE subject...

there had been a lot of talk in Moscow about having the archive workshop in Greece, but till now we have received nothing concerning it.

If you really intend to realise it ,we must receive a workshop registration,with tutors and everything the way it works with workshops. Places for archivers will be given in case we have the actual workshop procedure.

your beloved organisers

p.s.As most of you have realised, the workshop[at]easa007[dot]gr account died three days ago by overload [!!!..he he] ,BUT it's back and living again,so you may send anything concerning workshops there from now on. No worries,cause we received everything till now at easa007[at]gmail[dot]com

thanks to archiprix and 'mark, another architecture'.

this does not, however, indicate how many students study in each country. so please, do not use this for future quota decisions. just for fun. or graphic inspiration.

this list is based on public input. if you think that your school is missing or something else is icky about the list, go to www.archiprix.org and fill in the blanks. long live public participation!

Hey EASA,

Me and my friend Moa (she was a participant in Budapest) are going to travel by train through Europe for 3 weeks in May, starting from the 7th. The journey is part of a project that we call “Loving architecture”, which hopefully will turn into a book. Our stops for now are: Berlin, Belgrade, Barcelona, Paris and probably Delft. It’s really a budget-trip and we’re gonna sleep at nice EASA -peoples houses so far. We’re looking for some possible stops on the road between these cities. (Poland, Austria, Czech Republ. Croatia, Italy?...) And now we wanted to use this forum to ask if there is anybody who’s got some amazing things that we shouldn’t miss out on or a really big apartment and can host us for a night? (We won’t take much space, I promise you we’re so small that you can barely see us!) And we can guarantee you that you’ll have comfy bed if you ever pass by the south of Sweden (or Barcelona, since I’m moving there in September…)

our e-mail: saraandmoa(at)lovingarchitecture(dot)se

we’re also have a website that is like a work in progress: www.lovingarchitecture.se

lot’s of kisses from the north

Sara and Moa

You know, 'quota' is a sensitive spot in the easa network, it just is. To balance the bitching in the emails sent to Greece, maybe Easa needs to show how it really feels, there you go:

(yeah well, i needed a break from coloring damn groundplans at the office)

dear friends,

we would like to remind you that this Monday, the 16th of April is the deadline for the workshops' registration.

The reason we made up this new registration process is to have quite early an idea of the number of tutors we expect at easa007.

This way it will be easier to rearrange and distribute participation places and quota issues...!!

so hurry up,after all,it's only registration,not full workshop description.

your beloved organisers

big news: a couple decided to call their lovely daughter Easa, what a lovely name! just check by yourself www.youtube.com

mon dieu...
