Hi all,
regarding the issue of the Ryanair flights to Zaragoza, finally an agreement
between Ryanair and the local authorities has been reached. More or less as
expected, almost all EU flights continue, in some cases with increased
frequencies: LondonStansted, Milan Orio al Serio, Brussels Charleroi, Paris
Beauvais, Seville and Lanzarote. In exchange, flights to Bologna, Rome,
Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and Malaga will be stopped. You can read the news in
today's local newspaper (in Spanish):
http://www.elperiodicodearagon.com/noticias/aragon/la-dga-logra-salvar-seis-rutas-de-ryanair-que-eliminara-otras-cinco_734242.html
Moreover, as stated in our proposal, we are fully open to debate the date that
best fits the Foundation for the LibOCon conference, all September til October
5th, and also November.

does not have time to read the whole proposals, and after reading many of the
mails in the discuss forum:
Our aim by proposing a bid to organize this conference is motivated by the fact
that LibreOffice is now, in our opinion, in a crucial, and turning point of
expansion. Therefore, and as we think that LO has a brilliant future and
potential, we think that we can also contribute to its development with our
humble means, by organizing a successful event.
Thanks very much, best regards
Juan Pradas

>Hi Christian,
thanks for your remarks and questionsabout the flight connections.
**********************************************************************************
1. Regarding the flight connections,Zaragoza airport is currently under
negotiations with Ryanair toreadapt its schedule for the Summer period (March
30thonwards) and for the rest of their agreement (I guess it lasts until2014 or
2015). Last October, Ryanair stopped flying to Alicante andMalaga (altough to
Malaga it should restart on April), and this is atypical example of the
trading between Ryanair and many airports(Ryanair asks for XX+1 and the airport
says XX-1). That is why, lastJanuary, Ryanair stopped selling tckets for the
summer season untilnegotiations come to an end, in order to put extra pressure
on theactivities. Probably they will discontinue some Spanish flights tothe
Canary Islands such as Tenerife, Las Palmas, and maybe Seville orBologna. What
is sure is that flights to the main EU capitals will bepursued, since they are
strategical for the authorities: LondonStansted, Milan Orio al Serio, Brussels
Charleroi, Paris Beauvais(yes, not CDG), Rome Ciampino, etc.
However, we should be able to know theexact agreement in a few days, as it
has been stated in the localpress (first part of February), and then flights
should be on saleagain (they were on sale from November till Christmas before
Ryanairblocked the sales).
