Gnah! There was an discussion on the core list about the gender-aspect, there was a discussion on the intern-list(in february) about the commercial aspect and there was a discussion in RL about both aspects(money, gender) at the last jour fix. We are generally NOT willing to host commercial events at the metalab - inquiries, which reached us only every half year so far, will be decided case by case(As decided at the last Jour-Fix). NO, the space is not for rent and the donation we receive for this workshop merely covers the cost of operation(And everyone would be happier if it was a free-of-charge workshop, but alas, a communication mistake was made and i(personally) agreed on the workshop before i knew it was not free and before there was said internal "case-by-case" discussion. The gender-topic is another story however.). This is haunting me since a month now and i'd be very glad if i don't have to fight yet another discussion - it's been decided, i've publically explained the reasons for the decision - so have mercy and let it rest. Please. Thanks. Regards Benko
