Hi Enver;

Any help is appreciated however disorganized working behavior is what I
need least at this time.

I'm neither lost, nor forgot about GUADEC. We have already one volunteer
studying at this University chair of co-organizer University club so
having close relationship with the administration. You may not know it
since you just showed up.

If there's some update on the issue I would already announce this on
this list, reason I'm waiting for announcement is because I'm waiting a
reply next week. Changing an announced date is worse than announcing it
*late*.

Everything has its order, it's nice that you subscribed to the list, and will 
follow what you might help throughout the organization.
