Dear Michael,<br><br>very nice message and knowing about you!<br><br><b>Contract</b>: something funny is happening to me. Instead of trying
to "sell OS" or trying hardly to inform people about it,... , I´m just getting more and more interested in it. As a
result, opportunities are appearing (I might be facilitating two more OS
next months) just speaking frankly about my passions with somebody or in
casual conversations in whch OS comes straight to my mind as the right
thing to face certain situation or problem<br>
<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">
<b>price</b>. When asked about it ( I had no idea, I estimated how much time I was putting into it,...) this was the dialogue more or less:<br>
-"sth between 500 and 1000 would be ok, I suppose" I answered<br>
- it´ll have to be nearer 500<br>
- "what about 700 :-)?" some days later<br>
- I can grant your 500... depending of other expenses it may be more...<br>
- ok (I didn´t tell him, but he knows, that I would do it for free, should they have no money. In fact, he kew about OS in a free OS event I facilitated in 2009. This one will be my third OS as facilitator).<br></div><br>
More opinions/any experience about distributing a short <b>handout</b> to late-comers (that are supposed to be a big proportion) to make
it easier the introduction in OS? Maybe that having quite many people
that have not attended the opening makes it reccomendable? Or, is it
indeed one more thing not to take care of?<br>
<br>
About the <b>language </b>issue:<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">1. It´ s a good idea asking the sponsor. I´m speaking with him about it.<br>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,...<br>
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?<br></div><br><b>Mind maps</b>: <br><ul><li>sure! I hope we´ll have some photos of the report-mind map to share after the event. </li>
<li>And myself I´m doing another mind map to memorise all the stuff I´d like to have in mind in the opening. You´ll have more news on it, of course.</li></ul>See you one day (maybe in Sardinia, who knows?), Michael!<br><br>
