• I tried to reserve the conference website name when I was in vacation to Romania, on .com, .org, .net and .ro; unfortunately I couldn’t do it there. When I turned back and tried, Liberatica.com and Liberatica.ro was reserved. Hmmm, surprise? Laurentiu Buzdugan pointed me to this article…
• Of course I was upset, but I had a moment of ispiration :) and I picked up a new name, very close to the original one and more meaningful. We are going to announce it when all the legal papers will be settled, this time.
• Agora people are preparing the legal papers that will stipulate the conference and ROSI status.
• I finished a draft presenting the initiative and the conference (Conference Manifesto).
• Mircea is going to polish it and give it a nice shape – he is a professional in the field.
• Two of the newest ROSI members, Adriana and Madalina Nan (right, they are sisters, actually twins) are going to prepare a pdf document presenting Brasov city and Romania for the out of the country guests
• I set up the hosting for the conference website – a single one, on .ro (the rest of org, net, com are going to point to .ro )
• Ionut finished the graphic logo for ROSI (we are going to publish it soon, right now we are waiting for ROSI members comments)
• Stefan and a friend of him (a graphic artist) designed the first draft for the conference logo and probably is going to be ready till next week
• I’m also working on the conference website. There will be two phases; first time we are going to set a single page and we are going to promoting it. In the meantime, we are going to prepare a CMS that will hold the full conference website.
• Boris and Roland from Bryght promised us hosting for ROSI website; we are still working on the structure of this site. Probably we are going to focus on it only after finishing the conference website.
• Cristian  (from linux360.ro) integrated my blog into their planet (http://planet.linux360.ro/). Thank you Cristian!
• Last but not least, Alex started to blog and spread the word about the conference. The same is doing Zak and Carmen. And this is only the beginning :)

The bottom line, we are doing well and we are on the schedule.
