Hi Oekonuxis!

So if you ever thought about donating money to Oekonux or the P2P
Foundation *now* would be the right time to help making the conference
possible. If you never thought about such a step you may want to think
again.
In case you are ready to donate some amount please drop me a line or
just reply to this message in public giving others an example.
I'm very happy to tell you that I received the first offer over
500EUR! The potential giver wants to stay anonymous, however.
Another anonymous donator offered 400EUR :-) . Thanks a lot!
I'm
ready to make the first step and hereby declare that I'm ready to
donate 300EUR in addition to waiving the remuneration of my travel and
accomodation costs as a speaker.
I also hereby raise my donation to 500EUR. So the first 1000EUR of
donations are secured :-) !
So at the moment we have 1400EUR of private donations. Great!!!
It would be great if you could join
this initiative and help making this great thing a reality.
This is still necessary. I hope I'll be able to give a more concrete
figure at the end of January.
We now have figures about speakers' travel costs we need to pay for.
At the moment it seems that it is possible to do the conference -
though we may move from Manchester to London.
Nonetheless the financial situation is still very tight and we still
need to rely on a few estimates. More private donations would make
sure there will be no problems. Also if more people are ready to
donate and in the end we are in the lucky positions to not need all
the donations then every private donator could donate less.
In other words: It still makes sense to offer donations.
Grüße
Stefan
