Is this going to be open to the public?

It is supposed to be a get-together for all of those who have a hand in Federal politics, one way or the other.

I'd certainly like to make a case to be there in one form or fashion either way. I'm sure we can make a case for having a hand in Federation politics.

Thanks to everyone for swift and positive response. This helps us a lot with the program.

I'm now confirming the time and date to be the original Saturday 16th of April, 7PM/19:00 EVE time, because it seems to be fine for a number of players and allows the organizing committee to go forward with the preparations. My deepest apologies for everyone who cannot make it. I hope we can celebrate together on the Federation day.

The original post was made to check the timing and to find out whether other role-players might be interested to show up or should the program be targeted to the local travellers. The official announcement and invitations are now underway. Feel free to remind me to send an invitation either here, in IGS or in-game.

Addendum:

To answer some concerns, I want to add that this is really supposed to be what it sounds like. We have no credibility to loose and I think it's really vital for us as a political party to establish positive diplomatic ties to other groups on this stage.

Just a point, though, 19:00 eve time is currently 8pm GMT, not midnight  ;)
British Summer Time is not GMT. 1900 EVE time is 1900 GMT, 2000 BST and 2100 CET.

Sorry to hear that, it would have been great to meet you there.

Please let me emphasize that the purpose of the Gala is not to label anyone as a supporter of our brand of politics.

The motivation for attendance could be for instance curiosity - are we possibly proposing to cut military spending? - or visibility - it's a good chance for the participants to promote their own agendas.

The general themes are related to freedom and Federation and at least the organizers are going to avoid detailed discussion on specific issues to keep the atmosphere relatively impartial.

Hey, since the new forums went up ( BOO! HISS! ) the original announcement has been locked. Can you throw up a new one on the new board?

Thank you Orthic. I was already wondering why it was so quiet.
