[PD] again, the pdcon in brazil issue

[Andy Farnell]

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,

best,

Andy

If all goes well, this doesn`t necessarily mean we will have tons of cash for an event like the pdcon, but it is a start. Nevertheless, the people in this research group is interested in working with pd and all :)
