Re: Euro PG conference?

Hi guys,

   I don't want to seem too harsh, but I believe that this whole topic must be faced more realistically and rationally.

   We can discuss about possible venues of PGDay for years. We are talking about PGDay and ignoring the European Group issues (I posted an important message yesterday, but nobody - as of now - has replied).

   Also, it is not very mature (pardon the term) to propose cities without tangible and realistic measures of the scope of the whole organisational thing. Believe me, organising a PGDay such as the one in Italy that we did last year, is very time consuming and requires lots of work. Thousands of man hours and several months of planning. Of course, only if that's the goal.

   A city, without a working group and a real project, must not even be mentioned. I believe that candidate cities come up with a proposal and then we work it out. Proposing cities as we are doing now will take us nowhere.

   We need facts, we need responsabilities, we need people and names that are willing to carry them on.

   I am a bit concerned about the superficiality that we have all proved so far as a group. That's all.

Ciao,
Gabriele
