Another successful p3

"Pijemy Po Polsku" just keeps getting better and better.

Last night's edition was an absolute blast - at least for me. This time Becca from "Boo" joined the beatroot and Gustav in the fun at Tortilla Factory. By the end of the evening, much delicious Polish lager had been imbibed, we had annoyed the local Poles with our raucous laughter, and there had been several heated discussions over topics such as: whether the US-led war in Afghanistan was justified or not, whether democracy can be imposed on a country from outside, and whether much of terrorism in the West can be traced back to the West's own self-esteem issues. Later, a very interesting fellow from Iran and his Polish girlfriend joined in the discussion, and agreed to consider writing for the upcoming "collective blog" - which I think would give it a particularly interesting perspective. Excellent.

A few decisions were also made including:

a. That a collective blog is a darn good idea. And we're down for it. The collective blog remains unnamed, but it was decided:

b. That the name should be simple and easy to search. If someone is looking for a blog about Poland in English, our blog should be listed at the top;

c. That the site should be 100% free of all advertising. This is something we'll be doing because we enjoy it - not because we're going to become rich and famous from it, 'cause we won't;

d. That the site will preferably not be blogger-hosted. There are several other free-of-charge blogging websites - but a quick perusal of them shows they are something less than cool. TypePad - a paid platform - was discussed. It has several useful features, but, yes, you have to pay. This is something which will require further discussion;

e. And finally, that I have been designated the secretary of these meetings, meaning you can check back here after every p3 for reports, if you happen to miss one.
