And the universities have also the freedom to<br> set there dates, so they differ also 2-3 days mostly.<br> If that is not enough there are differences between universities also. Like the<br> "university" last LGM was, is from the german view not a university, its a<br> Fachhochschule and they have different semester, mostly they begin a month<br> earlier. And when this is not enough we have also universities who have no<br> semester, they have trimester.<br> <br> Second: the vacation between the semester means not it is free. It means only<br> there are no lectures. But there are e.g. exams.<br> <br> So you will never find a date who fixes all.<br> <br> br gnokii<br> ><br> ><br> > i don't know if there is still room for a change for 2013, but i think<br> > that those dates could be considered for future LGMs in europe.<br> ><br> > have a nice day<br> ><br> > a.l.e<br> > _______________________________________________<br> > CREATE mailing list<br> > <a href="mailto:CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org">CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org</a><br> > <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create</a><br> <br> </blockquote><div><br></div><div>Hmmm....*all*, *should*, *must*, *always*, *never* and </div><div>other similar adverbs are in most cases unattainable.</div><div><br></div><div>So....the last half of June, all of July, and first half of August</div> <div>seem to the be best times to observe young adults in their </div><div>habitats of choice, free from enrollment in a course of study.</div><div><br></div><div>I know of a couple of youngish persons who would like to </div> <div>attend LGM.</div><div><br></div><div>- Susan</div><div><br></div></div><br>
