My offer stands to have Stoves101 on the Friday afternoon before the official program, like last year, but for the real first-timers maybe even extend it to 3 hours and start at 2 PM, or even earlier if some people want to be there earlier. Thanks to your suggestion some time back, it has become a real training course that I now do as well for new staff from GIZ or other organizations, especially before they go into the field. But I have also been doing this even with illiterate stove producers in Burundi, Congo and Malawi in the last year. It is very gratifying to see people understanding the basics without having had a physics class in their life. <div>Last year we had Dean and Dale joining in.

But then, there wasn't much else to do. :-) Anyway, I think it should be a permanent session so that our first-timers don't get left behind. There's a story behind that that has led me to an ongoing friendship with a man in Kenya who had attended the PCIA Conference in Peru and had no idea he was making a bad stove because no one talked about the basics</font></font><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">.

Subject: [Ethos] Topics at ETHOS 2014<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Stovers,<br>
<br>
The ETHOS 2014 meeting will cover the topics that we want, and
Mark has asked for additional suggestions.<br>
<br>
The original 5 topics that are proposed are:<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; ">- Update on the Global
Alliance and their activities</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; ">- Standardizing
Reporting on IWA Indicators</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; ">- Stove Performance
Inventory, Sharing Public Data, and Establishing Common Data
Formats</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; ">- Update on ISO
Process</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; ">- Updates on Protocol
Developments</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
In my opinion, the 5 proposed discussion topics are fine, but are
too restricted to the agenda of the GACC. <br>
<br>
Please add ones on:<br>
Stove technology and design (NEW, not a rehash of what exists)<br>
<b><u>Proven</u></b> dissemination and acceptance of stoves:
results from the field (This is NOT "The story of my NGO or
project.")<br>
<br>
And some panels and maybe some "short reports sessions" (4
minutes maximum per speaker) that have a common theme and then
PLUS open discussion/debate that gets to the real issues.<br>
<br>
For SOME attendees, the topic of "Charcoal producing stoves and
related biochar issues" is of major interest and will draw in
some additional participants. But this is NOT a biochar
conference with reports on impact on soils and plants.<br>
<br>
Recommendation: Attend if you can!!!!!! I have attended every
ETHOS since 2004, and the content and importance is getting
stronger and stronger. 48 intensive hours. And opportunities
for side meetings with like-minded people from around the world
are extremely beneficial. Registration info and link is below in
Mark's message.<br>
<br>
And there could be some possibilities for some PRE conference
and/or POST conference meetings and workshops, but none are
announced yet that I know.<br>
