thanks for your advice, brian, harrison and uwe. the conference "forum typography" is just now taking place in hamburg, but i don´t take part. yesterday the chairman of the next-years conference let me know, that his students had prepared a performance to present their own conference-design under the headline "circus-show". anna (member of the board) and i decided not to go in competition and not let come up an impression that i would want to sell open!space. the time is not right. thats it. when the association will be tired upon stage-events and when they´ll be hungry for innovation about the role of designers in civil conversations, than the time might be right for open!space. do you agree?
