has anyone looked at the flasheurope site recently? There is a new flash front end thingy going on, but the biggest change that caught my eye was the date in the top right-hand corner. June? This better not be another reschedule, i've just bought plane tickets...

Hi guys

What's the latest with this Flash Europe debacle?

I'm meant to be attending in March, however, haven't heard anything from Udo, or anyone else etc etc.

Thanks again, Craig. Look forward to news from you, for so far it doesn’t seem likely we are gonna get it from anyone else.

I have also got a reply from Judith Herder from http://www.906090-design.com/ who said she will forward my email to Harold Polo’s address not listed on the FE’s site.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for stepping in -- as I have said many times before, I do hope that FlashEurope will go ahead and be a great success.

So far, however, the organizational troubles go far beyond "lack of connectedness with the community". Changing the date so close to the conference last year, having the registration email bounce and not responding to speaker's emails for over a month are simply signs of bad organization.

Best of luck with everything.

Well Igor - for starters I do not *represent* FE officially I am merely stepping in to assist and make it the conference it could, should and will be.

I am communicating with the community because I am part of the community. I am also not posting because of any police action - I saw this thread last week and met over the weekend to see how I could help get all of this straightened out. I've only been on the case a few days! It was cooincidence that there was a post about Scotland yard when I came here to let you all know that it is not dead - and certainly not a scam.

I hope to have some further information later this week. I am going to have to get in touch with speakers and confirm details, etc. There is a new site to launch and we would like details to be cemented when it launches so that there are no further misconceptions or misunderstandings.

I hope you all will bear with me - I am not the organizer merely acting as a Program Director to try and best put together a schedule that reflects the talent of the speakers as well as accomodates attendees in the best way. I've got a lot of work ahead of me and I am doing this merely for the love of community and to see a successful Flash conference in Europe take place.

peace

Thanks a lot for getting in touch Craig. Still I wonder why it should take mentioning police for FlashEurope to finally start communicating with the attending community. Is it possible to get a confirmation from FE asap because without it I won’t be ale to get a visa to travel to Barcelona?

Oups! sorry for the typo in your name, you’re obviously Craig, not Craigh.

Hi Craigh,

thanks for coming and spoting some light on this subject. Though I’m afraid most people won’t be very receptive due to the amount of time without any communication from FE’s organization, it’s nice to finally have someone who people can talk to.

Regards,
Daniel
