Base Camp 2008 - Europe?
-
Did somebody mention skiing? If it is January ...good deals in Austria for sure. Somewhere in Salzburgerland would be perfect. Cheep flights as well to Salzburg.
-
Well i propose my city Lisbon, lots of sun, hot wheather, good beaches, the best light in Europe, not expensive... and we even have a bridge built by the same engeniers that built the Golden Gate so that Google guys will feel more near their home city S. Francisco
but whatever the city i think its a great idea!! -
I'm up for it. I like the Berlin suggestion, but a couple of day trip anywhere in Europe is a goer for me.
I would feel a lot more comfortable going if there was some Google input though.

Sepo, I'm still very much in favour of a Skiing SketchUcation Base Camp.
I keep mentioning the ArchiCAD Winter School, mostly held in Austria. I
attended one and enjoyed the week.Combining a weeks skiing with the event helped to justify the cost of the
trip which is no bad idea!And yes it would be good the get Google SU involved ..... Mmmmm ... I wonder
do those guys like skiing.Mike
PS: I'm not a good skier btw. Just about able to get down a red slope
without breaking my neck
And any skier will tell you that the best
ski trip is the first one! -

Why is that?
Well if I am going to take time to go to a seminar I would want to know that it is well worth the trip, cost and time wise.
-
Flame, i dont think you would have to worry aobut that. I imagine there are quite a few people on here who would be willing to do talks if they were approached aobut it, and i imagine it would probably work in that sort of way. I.e. a few people giving talks/presentations on different aspects of SU, a few work shops and plenty of socialising.
To sum it up, i think it would be wicked.

Well, let's put it this way: all the people who were asked by Google to make presentations at 3D BasCamp in the Tips & Tricks Panel in June are members of SCF now (and in fact members of the Beta Team as well).
Don't you believe that there is enough knowledge in this community?However yes, I would also like to see some of the SketchUp Team if an event like this happens. Partly because they are nice people but certainly also because their presence would be important.
-
Mike, combining skiing with gathering would be great. It could be also first time skiing for someone. OK If it is pulled of to be in Alps than I volunteer to run 1 day ski school for beginerrs.
-
With my knees?
-
Good call Sepo !
Skiing and SU'pping...I am all in for it
-
Gaieus...is something wrong with your knees?
Chris I knew you would be up for it.
-
Oh yeah!!
I am also for that, Good thing you are a certified instructor as I would love to learn how to ski.

Well, they are very loose. I can move them apart some 2cms - I can almost poke my finger in the joint!
-
There are some aids for the knees which help skiing. You need to excersize them man.
hehe Solo..it would be fun
-
I do walk a lot. But it's been like this as far as I remember. It doesn't disturb me at all - just probably skiing wouldn't be the best cure for them.
But hey - I can stay in the pub until others break their necks!
-
We'll strap you on the sunterrace with plenty of beer.
Joking on side. Little skiing would not harm you. -
How about some slivovica instead?
(or besides?)
-
besides sounds great
-
OK, deal!
