[pp.int.general] Good news and Conference?

[Jens Seipenbusch]

Hi Rick and all international pirates!

Good to hear that news from sweden. We are currently busy with planning
the congress and all info is still found at
http://int.piratenpartei.de/International_Conference_1/2008

Everyone should indeed now book their flights (havent got my own ticket
yet), so that we can have another productive meeting in our row to the
European parliament.
We have a nice and fitting room for the whole two days (thanks to
Bernd!) so that we can work during the day like in Vienna.
Everyone arriving on Friday can then join us in the evening at that
club. If anyone arrives even earlier or needs help in Berlin, dont
hesitate to contact Bernd or myself or Jan.
For the students (and other financially close people) amongst us, we can
offer some basic sleeping possibilities at the condos of berlin pirates
- just contact us (i have  two requests in mind as yet).
Schedule is still in progress, we plan to have a panel discussion on
saturday night about privacy and control in the internet age.

I have news from Poland, Sweden and Russia, that they will participate,
where is the rest of europe?

best regards,
Jens Seipenbusch
