Re: Lua Workshop 2014 in Moscow?

[Roberto Tirabassi <rtirabassi@...>]

Roberto (same name, this can't be casual) showed us how to be wise.
I do believe that the discussion that this topic has started can and shall 
be done, since anybody had it's idea and must be free to express it, bun 
maybe in a different scenario.
I can't be sure my colleagues and I will attend 2014 workshop but I'm sure 
that if we'll not it will not be caused by the location and political reasons.
Some say: if you have an head, than use it. I'll try to.

Anyway, +1 for me (if I can).

Roberto Tirabassi.
