This is a very well put out plan for a get-together (and 4th message to .tr
group, besides the fact that other three were from me..:-)
It is always fun to see the faces of people that I share a hobby, besides
many other things, and meet with them in person.
Actually, I don't think my budget will allow us for a couple-day-visit to
Europe (any country other than Turkey..:-) for the near future, but I'll try
to do my best about it. Please keep me informed about the subject,
preferably in this newsgroup, or personally via e-mail (I don't follow any
of the robotics groups normally)
Best regards,
Selçuk
