Hello! I'm a first-time powwow organizer, so bear with me! New to Marseille and currently working on scaling up my translation activities, I'd love to network with old hands and translator-newbies alike.
Modification 19 March
Ça y est, la date est fixée: Jeudi, 25 mars 19-22h
Lieu: Dos Hermanas
18 rue Bussy l'Indien
13006 (métro Notre-Dame du Mont / Cours Julien)
Je vais réserver l'espace en arrière-salle et je poserai un panneau 'Powwow' sur la table pour qu'on se reconnaisse.
Voir les messages en bas pour plus d'information sur la soirée.
I was not sure until today, if I would be free this week. Now I know that I won't be able to participate :( Have fun @ Dos Hermanas (a pretty nice place ;)

Hi everyone,
It's great to see so many people interested in the powwow...who knew there were so many of us!
I see a few people mention time/date conflicts. I have opened a doodle for everyone to make note of their preferred time. Just click on the link, write your name, and tick which time frames work for you. You can tick as many as you want.

As I said, this is my first time organizing a powwow, and this questionnaire is an attempt get others involved in the process. Thanks for taking the time to fill it out!

Hi all,
Thanks for all who have replied to my slew of emails! I'll leave the Doodle open until Wednesday March 17th, so you have a few more days to weigh in, but Thursday the 25th looks like the winning slot.
As for the questionnaire, I apparently need to give you permission to view it, so don't hesitate to send me an email and I'll put you on the viewing list. Sorry about the mix up.
I'll be in touch by the end of the week with a venue.

Hello all,
Doodle votes are in, and the winner is: Thursday, March 25th 19h-22h
Venue: Dos Hermanas 18 rue Bussy l'indien 13006 (metro Notre Dame du Mont/Cours Julien)
I'll reserve the space in the back and put a Powwow sign on the table. Dos Hermanas is a tapas bar, and can get noisy on weekends, but I think our timeframe should be okay.

Two suggestions for orienting our evening:
1. Walter suggested this link (http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/unitedtranslators/) which goes to United Translators discussion group. The group was formed to address the issue of fair rates for translators. I recently followed a discussion on the Wordfast Yahoo group that touched on the same issue in rather provocative terms. Click here (https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AVu7S4iSREqvZGhxNDUzcmNfMTAyZHgyOGJkZm0&hl=en) for a summary of that discussion. There is some in-group humour (which I don't get, either, so don't feel bad), and some strong language...but interesting viewpoints. Look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Hopefully between these ideas and some sangria, we'll find plenty to talk about!
I look forward to meeting you all,
Bonnie
