I'm happy to report that at least for Romania and Bulgaria (East European countries, both part of the European Union) visa is as easy to get as it has been before, and it's not affected by the new US administration. For now, at least. On 31.01.2017 09:33, Tiberiu wrote: > Also, people from

Thank you for your considerate reply, John. It is nice to have that context and to know this conversation is ongoing. I agree that it would be impractical to change this year's conference. Is there a way to catalog and measure the damage done by travel restricitons? Perhaps the event

Re: [libreplanet-discuss] LibrePlanet 2017 and the Trump Police State

Hi Libreplanet, This is a really sad time in America. People should be able to attend these events regardless of their cultural background. The only reason I can't attend, is because of travel and costs. But for other people don't have a choice regardless of how much money they have, simply
