An informal Oil Drum -ASPO meeting is being organized in Italy in June of this year. Oil Drum readers are welcome to join the discussion with Oil Drum staff and ASPO members. This meeting, to take place on 26, 27 & 28 June in Italy at the “Alcatraz free University” near Perugia, will have a spontaneous self-organized program according to the ‘bar camp’ rules. People can bring any topic to the informal meeting that they want to discuss. The only limitation being the wide ‘systems boundary’, so that issues should be directly or indirectly related to the heart of ASPO & The Oil Drum, discussions about energy and our future.

In order to reserve a place, please send a message to Rembrandt Koppelaar contact at peakoil.nl also in copy to Ugo Bardi (ugo.bardi at unifi.it). Upon approval of your application a registration form will be sent with room and payment details.

More information on the meeting, costs, and traveling to Italy can be found below the fold

During the Sixth annual ASPO conference in Cork, Ireland in 2007, Nate Hagens and I were interviewed for the event's DVD. The 5 disc DVD box set (available here) contains all the conference material and a number of interviews including ours.

Below the fold you can watch our interviews. As ever your insightful comments on the content are welcomed but we are also interested in your thoughts on video as a communication medium and what future video could have on The Oil Drum. Also see the video Luís de Sousa made last month: Olduvai 2008 movie.
