A bit of history... Last year sole didn't want to help organising ifparty'06 because she wasn't up to it for a couple of reasons. Because that she wasn't able to understand why I was still helping in the org. At that point I guess I had the time for it and the only thing I had in mind was "Ok, it's going to be difficult this year, but we need to organise it, otherwise if we don't organise this one we won't have another one next year". I can tell you I put a lot of my time on it, a lot of my time desigining, coding, and the harder work was sending emails to everyone, keeping the communications, keeping the energy, good vibes, all that stuff. In fact, at some point I saw that I wasn't going to have time for it, so I said to the guys that if we wasn't able to achieve one milestone I would have to leave the orgo cos I didn't have time to do everything in a hurry at the last minute. And well, we wasn't able to do the milestone, however I still did the design/dev and everything for the party, tho I wasn't able to buy the plane tickets because they were quite expensive by that time (one month before the party).

This year we have the same problem, lack of motivation, and the main orgos already asked for some help on escena.org. But nobody said anything, and they still think that they are not able to do all the work they did the last year for the party. This time I put my milestone a bit earlier because I was going to do a big part of the organisation this year  (having another non-stop room/2ndstage like, and providing all the contents and stuff, lives, which requires a lot of rrpp with spaniard and foreigners to motivate them to do a participate, demoshows and all that stuff). And well, we missed it again. So, I'm off, I'm afraid I can't support the party anymore. Also, Sole which wanted to help this year is off too, and also another key guy.

Right now I can see that working on escena.org is helping much more than not all the work I did last year working on ifparty'06, so the decision is easey

So, well, if you can help, you have the time, and the motivation, please let them know, otherwise, I don't think we will have ifparty'07. A shame, because we already had the theme.
