1st Meeting - Friends Together

So, we had our first project meeting! We expected it anxiously, because we wanted to meet you, to get to know you and to establish the direct conection and relation. But it was also the other side of the expectation: will we do it good enough? will the reunion be a succes? will the partners/ participants be satisfied? or will they regret it wasn't organized in Bucharest, after all? These were some of the questions that made our sleep... light during the days before the meeting.
Well, it's up to you to judge now! From where we stand, the meeting was good enough. We did our part of the job together, we have our future steps of the project established and we have our doors and windows opened. But, most important, we know each other now, and we have a better idea about what we are doing, each of us, and what our organizations look like. So, the main objectives of the meeting were accomplished.
As far as the meeting itself, your reactions and kind words made us believe that we did quite well. It made our day to see that you were all happy and you enjoyed your days here. We realy think it was genuine and not only a diplomatic reaction. As for the visits to the Esperando Centres, we were just so happy to see that our work there is appreciated and that now we can use this also as a strong point in our future steps in the project.
We are sure that soon the first products of our project will be visible. More than this blog, Joost will have his huge contribution with the groupware, and we will than be able to work even more eficiently. And from that point on, "the sky is the limit"!
A word for our friends that couldn't make it to Baia Mare: we were really waiting for you and looking forward to knowing you. It was sad to see all those cancelations... We count on you, however, for the entire way of this project, and we hope to meet you in the future project meetings. We are sure your contribution will be very valuable and appreciated. Again, we are so sorry that you couldn't come!
As you could and can see, I tend to speak a lot. Too much. So, I will stop here. We will make the minute of the meeting here, if Joost will say it's not possible to have the groupware established very soon. If not, we will have it directly there. What do you think, Joost?
So, dear friends, wherever you would be, have a nice time, do something good for the project and remember Baia Mare...
Yours always,
Daniel
