[Librezale] Galiziako hitzaldia

[Ask Hjorth Larsen]

Kaixo!

I am not completely convinced that my contribution/participation is so
important.  Danish is a small language but clearly not a minority
language.  I wrote to the trasno people yesterday but have not heard
anything.  My contribution could be more from a technical perspective
(we have efficient work flows and tools), but this is not the focus of
the meeting.  Nevertheless they were seeking people from various
projects, and so they must have their reasons - I just haven't really
heard them.

If there's no very compelling reason for me to go, I might make other
plans (although from a cultural/spare-time perspective I have wanted
to go see Galicia for a while).

Note: I will be without connection from the morning of the 6th to the
evening of the 7th, so I guess communication/timely sign-up could be
tricky.

Julen:  If I do sign up, I might like a hint regarding efficient
transport from Donostia if you have it well thought out.

Best regards
Ask
