Hey there, I will write short reports from our everyday preparations for the workshop, so you know what to expect when you arrive. My name is Marek and i am from Tactical Tech.

Yesterday early morning - around 4:50 i realised that i overslept my alarm-clock, i should be under shower already at 4:30. Yes, i should not go to bed at 3 am :-)

When running to the bathroom, i got a phone from Michal (Michal is also from TTC and he does NGO-in-a-box project) that he is arriving in 10 minutes, we were going to the airport in Warsaw (Poland) together. An hour later we were already leaving, it was still dark, very cold 3 below zero and very snowy, about 40 centimetres of snow everywhere.

2 hours later we landed in Amsterdam, where we met Hinde (she is too from TTC, she is our event producer) and Patrice (who is our board member and he will do the bazaar and flossophy sessions). I managed to buy sunglasses, and eat something.

Flight took us 8 hours, movies were not that interesting, so was food. We arrived at 21 local time. Wire (James is from Linux Solutions - co-organiser) was waiting for us there. Visa - that was as easy as buying potatoes in most places, you give them money they give you stuff, no discussion, no need to present any invitations, or pictures, just make sure have some dollars on you :-)

Number of mosquitoes there is pretty scary, but then in Kampala town and hotel you barely see any of those creatures flying around, which is good.

We had our firs meeting already there yesterday in the bar when big crowd of people was watching soccer match (I guess there was Manchester playing - but maybe someone knows better - Milton should know - he is from WOUGNET and we did not meet yet today)

Anyway, we ended up discussing the press conference and making some decisions about coming days... more in my next posts-!! stay tuned
