26th European Juggling Convention
Who is gonna come to EJC?
You can see the people who've added themselves to the event here. If you're going then add yourself. I'm going and looking forward to it. Bought a nice big new tent for the occasion (just hoping there will be enough space left to pitch it).

I will unfortunately not be able to make it :(
Who is going to going to come back & tell us what happened after the event?

I CAN'T!
I regret planning something (albeit something awesome) during the EJC. I can not stand having to disappoint 150 of my friends who all ask 'are you coming?'.
Perhaps I should send one out with a doll/t-shirt/club of mine to take a picture with everyone I will have to miss...
5 wonderful EJC's in a row.. I have a friend who did 23 EJC's in a row before he missed one (25 in total now), I thought I could perhaps break his record..

Performing in a circus, a friend of mine bought a tent and we have 2 weeks of campings to visit in the main season, which is of course during the EJC.
It will be a fun and new experience, but I won't get to meet all my friends...
I'll be there - at registration desk for the first few days and then at the information desk.. One thing that is happening at the information desk this year is a "complaints area" - this is the current name that no-one is happy with. It's a point at which you can report that a fence is down, toilets not working [or just need more toilet paper]. Any suggestions for a more appropriate name that will not be lost in translation?
This will indeed also be the volunteer sign-up point. As for "Feedback" point - will people see this as a point for "immediate" feedback - i.e. things that need immediate sorting out (that can actually be sorted out) or instead will it just be used for grumbling over things that it's too late to do anything about...
In saying that, I do prefer "Feedback point" over "Complaints" anyday...

Problems?

Are the general populace familiar enough with "Bug Reports" as a term?
I remember the tents in Svendborg being too hot in the morning, this is something some subsequent EJC organisers still haven't sorted out - they should ask for some tips from BJC organisers who nearly always make sure camping is not too hot.
#EJCSvendborg - no one seems to be tagging much these days
The Ubuntu team use "paper cuts" as a term for trivial but annoying things.
"MOANING" is probably not multilingual enough but it's nice.
"Constructive Criticism"
"Fix me" written above a large white board, which one can both add to and remove from.
"Fix me" I like this one!
The purpose of this point is to enable people to sort out the minor issues that become major bugbears... The name should convey this without need for explanation in lots of languages [hence the need for careful consideration of the name].. We're not expecting people to complain about the name if we don't get it right, rather they won't know that that's where they should be going to report an issue / find more toilet paper if they don't understand the name - because almost nobody actually reads the information booklet handed out [unless they are working at the information desk]. Many people consider the "Information point" only as a source of information, rather than as a two way communication hub.
For those who are not on facebook (or who think that it's not the best place to have an event forum) should be aware that there is now a non-facebook based forum [how active it will be, given that it's only launched with 10 days to go to #EJC2013, I don't know]... the url is, unsurprisingly:

I'll be there. We were just sorting out some stuff, and were looking at the programme on the EJC site.
And noticed that they have a gala show on the evening of the 3rd. Which is the day the convention ends, so we will have left by then. That's a bit crazy, isn't it? Oh no, wait, in the small print in the confirmation email it says that the site is open until Sunday at 3pm. Which is the 4TH OF AUGUST, not the 3rd. Way to go, EJC, you can't even advertise the correct dates of your own convention. We booked our ferry (before getting the email) based on the advertised dates, so now we've been screwed out of a day of EJC.
Pillocks.
Sorry about that, Void, the EJC team strongly wanted to advertise the dates that there were events scheduled at EJC hence not mentioning the Sunday when everyone would be packing up. I personally remember a strong discussion after seeing the dates on the flyers at Lublin. The EJA Pre-reg were not convinced by the argument and advertised EJA as being 27 July to 4 August. (the dates on Juggling Edge are 27/7 - 4/8 (though that is probably little consolation))
This saying you finish the day before you do may be a cultural thing, I am sorry you are missing a day of EJC.
EJC Ireland are advertising their dates in a more conventional manner.
Oh you will be able to buy tickets to see earlier performances of the Gala show on Thursday or Friday at EJC @ €18 for adults
Ooh dear, that's a bit bad. I've jest checked & we have the correct dates listed here (well done Mïark) hopefully some people will have booked their holiday according to those.
Reminds me of BJC 2003. I did the website & did a lot of the online championing for that year & had to do a lot of damage limitation after it was realised that the several hundred fliers that had been printed had the wrong MONTH on them.
In my last job someone printed a thousand event programmes with the wrong sponsor's logo on the front. Whoops! Not a mistake they're likely to make again but these things do happen.
Advertising EJC as finishing on 3/8 is not a mistake, it is quite deliberate by the EJC team, they haven't let everyone know what they mean with this new way of advertising conventions dates, especially jugglers who have grown used to the last date advertised being the day people leave rather than the day before they leave.
Maybe we will adopt this new style of convention dating though I don't know if it will work for 1 day conventions (or 12 hour (½-day) conventions as they might become known as.
Does we = this EJC's organising team or the EJA in general?
I don't understand why anyone would do this. The first day is the day you turn up, the last day is the day you leave. Anything else defies logic.
We=jugglers in general
I don't think it will happen, of all the other juggling convention websites I have seen, (and I might have seen a few over the last year) none to my knowledge have used this years EJC's date advertising logic.
Some conventions like to list all the dates they are on rather than just the first and last, but to miss off the last day is a novel approach.
Although the EJA helps EJC, I don't think they prescribe how EJC should be advertised datewise.
I would personally advertise the time of the planned start on the website (14:00)to stop people turning up first thing. the fact it finishes at 15:00 on Sunday 4 might also be useful, but the fun of the EJC is it is organised by different teams each year so has a different flavour or style.
