Opening Space in Bilbao_CONSP!RING EUTOKIA

[Artur Silva]

Hi Eleder:
 
Knowing well, not only the Basque situation, but also that Spain is a 
multi-country multi-lingual nation, I agree with your choice of using two 
languages. I would do the same in Catalunya or in Galicia, by the way.
 
I was also impressed by your passion for OST and how that produces more 
opportunities than trying to sell OST (which is silly, I think)
 
Warm regards from the other extreme of the Iberian peninsula (where we have only 
one language ;-)
 
Artur

About the language issue:

1. It´ s a good idea asking the sponsor. I´m speaking with him about it.
2. I had in my mind doing it bilingual, as it is an important issue for many 
people in our community, who would feel excluded if once more "I´ll feel uneasy 
to be the one that speaks in Basque, knowing that everybody would understand 
Spanish,.... I´ll feel uneasy to speak Spanish, as I prefer/I´m more fluent,... 
in Basque". It will maybe take longer, but it may also be more inclusive. As a 
matter of fact, I received yesterday a message from a friend who knew about the 
event, and was a bit angry because, once again, he had received the message just 
in Spanish and even the website was unilingual,...
3. maybe that I have to detach a bit from myself (my ego?), which tells me "how 
woud you feel as an attendee if the whole event was presented just in Sapnish?
