Not really. This is a volunteer event. I will be their with my guest,
Dr. Andrius Kulikauskus, founder ofthe Minciu Sodas Laboratory for

of an entirely new, post-Gutenberg order. We plan to meet with
representatives of several other organizations interested in the Earth
Treasury textbook project. Among other things.
