Application for participation & workshop presenters
From: Steve Bradley, sbradley@umbc.edu

January 13, 2000



Deadline for application submission: February 1, 2000



Dear Polar participants,

the following is a working list of workshops being offered, an application
for both participation and workshop presenters.  Please fill in the
application as clearly and concise as possible.  Skip over any question
that do not pertain to you.  Everyone should fill in the participation
application.  The information you present will be essential in securing
housing and facilities.  The cost of housing last two PolarCircles were in
the neighborhood of approximately 5000 fin-marks ($100 + -) for a month at
Tornio.  For new Polars : private and community kitchens will be available
for meals.  Cooking utensils, dishes and other pertinent tools for eating
will be available.  Also remember to bring your special recipes and spices
-- very important -- liquor and strong coffee is very expensive (difficult
to find) so you might consider bringing in what you think is appropriate.
One way to give thanks to ground & virtual support people is to give them
shots of whisky every so often!!

Most likely the rooms will have ethernet connections -- bring your laptops
or small super-computers.  Media is both expensive and difficult to come by
while in the polar circle.  It is advisable to bring in 35mm film,
audio/DAT, Hi8, zip disks, and other media/materials you might need.  Most
likely there will be cd burners available-- soon this information will be
posted on the PC3 web site.


Please write "PC3 APPLICATION" in the subject of your email message-- this
will assist me in keeping the apps organized.  PLEASE  --  when you send in
your application reply only to me not the whole list.  Thanks.

Please send in your applications as soon as possible. The sooner you send
in the application the sooner we can post the information on the web site.
http://media.urova.fi/polar2/    If you have questions please forward them
to your point people to compile and send on to me.  Thanks again for your
participation.

best future,
steve bradley
