Alex, Being so far away it's unlikely I would make such a journey. Of course I wish you great success to make this happen. An idea I mentioned before was to create a simultaneous multi-location event with video links in intersecting time zones. Perhaps if 2009 is the year of a Portuguese language pdcon a twinned event could be held in Lisbon. Just a crazy suggestion,
