As far as I know none of the people who have raised this issue so far will be at QL2004. If they can't make, they should think of other possibilities. I.e. we hope to have an internet connection on the day, or they could send a video, DVD etc. > > Bear in mind that if > > this item is on the agenda, there is a lot of work for someone after the > > event. > > I appreaciate that there will be a lot of work to contact the copyright owners but why is > there a lot of work to do because the item is on the agenda? What's the point of having something on an agenda if afterwards nothing happens? This list has more than its fair share of fantasies. Think back a year and QL2004 was just a discussion topic that was going nowhere and went nowhere for about 6 months. I had to behave like an authoritarian dictator to get things off the ground. Now people are working hard on the idea and in this connection Sin-QL-Air deserve special praise. > > 2) The activity program is slowly filling up, although one or two items on > > it are provisional.

Remember most QL development is now done in North Europe and Eindhoven is ideally placed for this. I would like us to use QL2004 as a unique opportunity to meet together, have a morale boost and plan for the future. As for the program, think about all the things you have expressed an interest in or which concerns things you have helped to develop. On the practical side I am not sure what time and resources are necessary for each activity item, but at the beginning of September I shall be in touch with all presenters and then shall try to draw up a more detailed program.
