--- Quote ---Of course I've been anxiously considering the sociopolitical ramifications (I KNEW you could use that phrase in a normal sentence!) of starting such an ambitious project, and we'll try our best to not be utter dicks.
Please slap me hard if that fails, before everything goes down the drain thanks to someone powertripping.

Yes, beware: Ambitious Authority can lead to Powertripping, that most insidious of Psych Bugs (and now we have used the other!).

Ragear:
Hi,
as a visitor of cons on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean and living as an alien in Germany with experience in international projects (and scars to proove it) I feel the need to point out: be totally aware of sociological and cultural differences when teaming up internationally. Do not take everything for granted, do not think you understand each other just because you both speak the same language. Especially "safety and security" issue are starkly different, I noted. I consider continental european conventions to be more easygoing than ones of anglo-saxon origin. Examples may be like that electrical equipment being tested for OSHA compliance on site in the UK, in Germany not. Or some of the suits I saw in Germany may be cause for a ban in the UK (or USA) for being too "liberal" (spell: sexy :-) or otherwise dangerous).
my 5 cent. Wishing your project all the best
Ragear

Ragear: Tell us some news...
silverfoxwolf:
Health and safety regulations do differ from country to country. But I don't think security teams are going to be dealing with much of electrical safety unless they are told to stop people wandering around the cabled areas whilst being set up.
