The view to Almada upriver (the Ocean to your left) from the Cristo.
Have a look at this amazing set of photos of Almada. Almada is right across from Lisbon, on the south bank of the Tagus River. The Tagus, although fairly narrow at Almada, has a large estuary upstream; for the lower reaches this is a tidal river with brackish water.
The view to the Ocean from the Cristo. Our Venue, the Almada Youth Hostel, is not visible but located very near the green trees left of the bridge.
Almada was really the most logical spot to build a bridge, and in 1966 the 70m high red suspension bridge was finalized. It was re-named later, after the date of the peaceful revolution in 1974: “the 25th of April Bridge”. If you are coming to our event, you will see the bridge all the time, for we are located right next to it.

This has nothing to do with the beautiful pics but I just woner if there is a list of participants. I am looking forward to see whom we wil, have the pleasure to meet this year!
If not yet available when?
June 5, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Dear Simone, why don’t you try to start the list as follows:
upload a picture of yourself on the http://www.flickr.com/groups/km4dev2008/pool/ site
geotag your picture, so we can see on a map where you will be coming from and add any ‘caption’ info about yourself like expectations a link to a website about your work, etc…
If you don’t know how to do that, contact me on skype look for ircpjb , or alternatively send me a picture of yours with any caption you like to add and I will upload it for you!
Ciao Peter

Hi all,
Simone Staiger asked about who might be attending the workshop…..as a member of the logistics team I can say things have been changing since the registration process started. We may still see one or two people signing up between now and June 18, and maybe one or two who may have to cancel, but as of now, below are the people who’ve signed up (apologies for the formatting, but hopefully it can be read without difficulty). We do not want to put contact information in the blog, so we have stuck with people’s names and organizational affiliation (if any)…..
Best,

Any of you arriving on Wednesday evening? Perhaps we can coordinate for the taxi. I am supposed to land there at 9:20pm. Cheers.

Hi all,
And thanks Denise, for starting us on the taxi pool road
I doubt anyone will be going to Lisbon around the time I do, but just in case…..I’ll be arriving on Mon 16th at 16:40
June 10, 2008 at 7:08 am
Taxi Pool ?
I arrive on Tuesday 17th June at 16:05 hrs with Iberia 3102 from Madrid
Anyone wants to share a taxi? – Peter
June 10, 2008 at 10:47 am
Amendment: I am arriving also on Tuesday, not Wednesday. Tue June 17th at 21.20 with Tap Portugal coming from Amsterdam. Happy to share a taxi or find together our way to use the public bus system.
June 11, 2008 at 7:37 am
Hi Denise, P.J.,
I’d love to join but land on Wednesday at 14.35 hrs, so rather start another new “taxi pool”. Anyone else arriving around 14/15:00 hrs and want to share a taxi?
(Is there already a wiki page for different pools, should we make one, or just keep it here in the comments here?)

I arrive on the 17th at 14:25. Anyone other than Sophie arriving around that time?
June 13, 2008 at 1:15 pm
hhmmm, seems that there are many flights from Amsterdam to Lisbon. I do arrive Tuesday, but only at 23.00. So if anybody arrives around this time….
June 14, 2008 at 3:21 am
Hi Gauri , I arrive at the same time as you. I think it might take me an hour or so by the time immigration clearance is through. I see that Peter arrives at 16 05 and I can wait for a while. What do you think? Please let me know and we can decide where to meet.
June 14, 2008 at 3:23 am
Hi Gauri , I arrive at around the same time as you by KL 1693 1430 hours on 17Jun08 . I think it might take me an hour or so by the time immigration clearance is through. I see that Peter arrives at 16 05 and I can wait for a while. What do you think? Please let me know and we can decide where to meet.
June 14, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Hi Vijaya, Great. I know that Luca and Nadia are also on the same flight as mine so we will be four of us on the same flight. We can still keep a look out for each other so that we can head to the hotel/hostel together. Otherwise, Peter would be your best bet!
June 15, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Gauri, we are 4 of FAO in the same plane: Luca, Nadia, yourself and myself.
ciao

I don’t know about Luca
June 16, 2008 at 10:15 am
Hi Gauri and Vijaya. I also land on Tuesday 17th June at 14.20. (TP0355)
