Dear All – those who made Brighton happen, those otherwise engaged and to all other online EASAians.

Thanks for coming, wanting to come and being interested in the proceedings – we made it through a busy week, all in one piece – the final hurdle being a very steep staircase at our closing party!

Some thought we didn’t have a proper chance to say ‘good-bye’ but who needs to when we’ve a lively weblog!?

I’ve checked my flat for stray Belgiums and believe there’s only the odd EASAian wandering the streets of LDN.

Now back at work, it all seems like a dream.

I shall post details of the places visited, when I’ve the chance, please bear with me while I catch up on my beauty sleep…

Good to see healthy comment on INCM meetings!

Back shortly;

Jim

All – –
Please may we reserve our personal summing up of the INCM until a summarised report is made.
The purpose of the daily minutes was to make clear and counter any feeling of unrest, so that everyone understood and was in agreement as to the final direction and transparency of every meeting and the whole INCM.
It is so important that we do not exeagerate situations due to raised emotions.

I would like to set the record straight that there was no dirty talk, no slander and critically no intnet to create a circumstance where this was either possible or condusive.

So much of the pressure encountered within these meetings is due to the situation and constraints placed on us, especially time. Decisions must be made at the INCM’s. This is the crtitical forum for our debate. To this end pressure and efficiency must exist, please do not confuse this with hidden agendas.

I hope I speak for everyone when I re-itterate that we have all taken the time with equal intent, to participate within a network which we so greatly value – I do not believe that one person would invest such time in order to deliver malace or deceit.

Negatvie responses are critical so we may learn and move EASA on, however please may we have constructive critism, at the same time suggesting improvements. For there is no debate or advancement from complaint. This to save bias and confusion from those unfortunatly unable to attend.

I shall work to finish the report with with Marten and Jovan within the day or two.

thank you LEWIS.

Yes, I’m quit, Brighton was my last INCM, France 2004 probably my last-second summer school. It was very nice to see some “dinosaur” :) and so many new face and BIG THANKS to organisers to do it in such fancy city as Brighton :)
In afterword i would like to say few things:
we was talking about problems such as event financing-funding, establish archives, establish base for easa office etc. it’s all about changes.
Changes in easa means braking tradition[not only,but mainly], but what is this tradition and where is root of it? Just some of “dinosaur” know!?!
Is this tradition wasn’t create in small group of people long time ago? Discussion and not vote was working between few people, but now it dosn’t work properly between ~80 person. And why we need to talk more than 3 h when in end decision dependent on trust of organisers. And new invention of Jerome to push out potential organisers, gives wonderfully possibility to say something dirty about country or organisers and to people who are outside to wait for positive or negative answer, to feel loser or winner is bigger chance then from vote. Not all of as are grate orator to make influence.
This all is not about YOU, but about changes and building organisation.
No request for answer, this is just my opinion.
I discover one big and very important thing for me, first easa is THE BEST EASA* and don’t try to repeat, it will never be the same[by personal and friends experience].

P.S. Sorry about so negative opinion, but this is how i feel and why i leave.

Best regards.

in time when we all wait for summarised report, lets fall in memory of good old time

I have been more or less deliberately avoiding this site for a while, since I knew, but didn’t want to admit to myself, that it would be difficult for me to come through to Brighton. And here I am, in Glasgow, not very far away, working and not being able to get the time off to see you all!
It is sad, it is bad, and I wish you all a really good last INCM weekend in Brighton. Drink some booze and do some partying for me and I’ll think of you on my “staff night out” on Friday.

Brighton is Brilliant!!
So everyone is here now bar about 4, sunday was lovely as everyone arrived, drinking tea in the hostel lobby, rain falling outside. English ale in a pub for the evening. But today the sun is shining! everyone was at uni for 9am and croissant was served, and now i expect they’re in workshops dreaming of fourtet, dreading the possibility of no tickets at the door!
hope everyone else is well, you’ll soon see the results of this week!

hey people! following: skype chat between rune and lewis, clearing up a few points (at least for me)

[02:06:01] rune boserup siger : hmmmm, iiiinteresting. btw, i just finished reading your long email about the theme. but i’m not sure i quite understand what it is you would like us to bring?

[02:06:20] rune boserup siger : an a4 page interpreting.. what?

[02:06:24] Lewis Kinneir siger : 1 A4 sheet of paper

[02:06:46] Lewis Kinneir siger : interpreting the text on the good life questioning the definition of pavilion

[02:08:08] Lewis Kinneir siger : urm . . . . like a sketch

[02:08:14] rune boserup siger : and how will these a4 pages be used? as a basis for discussion and further work? does that mean, that everyone will have to read 50 pages of text from other people, when in brighton?

[02:08:29] Lewis Kinneir siger : no n on n nno ononnonnno

[02:08:30] Lewis Kinneir siger : NO

[02:08:33] rune boserup siger : phew

[02:08:39] Lewis Kinneir siger : they will not be words

[02:08:44] Lewis Kinneir siger : drawings, sketch’s

[02:08:52] rune boserup siger : aaaaaaaaaaaaHA

[02:08:55] Lewis Kinneir siger : we will produce an un edited sketch book

[02:10:23] Lewis Kinneir siger : which the univeristy will bind and then be the first final report bar the swiss one for a while – look at it as a kinda catalyst

[02:11:04] rune boserup siger : ok, that’s not how i interpreted the brief… all of a sudden it seems more accessible! maybe you should stress this on the blog. afterall, there was a lot of information to get through in that email, especially for visual/illiteral people like me (+probably other architects)

[02:11:23] rune boserup siger : cool, i like that. good idea.

[02:11:44] Lewis Kinneir siger : huh . . . gotya . . . . well maybe you could “start spreading the word”

[02:12:51] rune boserup siger : okie. i’ll write something on the blog.

3 DAYS!!! CAN”T WAIT!!!

SATURDAY>BRIGHTON>FIREWORKS!>!?

saturday 5th is fireworks night so i’m sure jim is planning something for london but if any one feels like making it down to brighton there is an absolutely gigantic (very large) fireworks festival in a town called Lewes half hour out of brighton.

i’ve never been but i’ve heard it’s amazing, the only problem being getting back after it has finished is very difficult.
here is a website to give you some information,
www.needananswer.co.uk/lewes-fireworks-2005.html

the hotel will probably hold your bags for the night and I can put up a handful of people on my floor!

i do not know if i am going to go to lewes yet but if u r coming down to brighton on saturday (the train is quicker than on sundays) then feel free to email me and i can give you my mobile number.

love Simon.
