yes. Thank you Dario for remembering us and pushing us forward.

Good. I would like to work on that with you. I think it could be very
interesting, for example to ask for further financial support by
companies and adminsitrations, as I mentioned in an earlier mail
(weeks ago) to have the figures of the last, say 2 or 3, editions of
EP.

For example:

* number of speakers,
* number of proposed papers,
* number of paying participants,
* income ventilated by types
* outcome ventilated by types
...

With these figures, we could also build some standard documents to
show to potential supporters.

I volunteer to help with this kind of work (at least to work on it with others)

I volunteer to work, organize and mayby chair the education track if
this can help.

Thanks,

Nicolas
