Hello all SU fans and SU responsible! Deadline for collecting applications to Summer Universities is approaching very fast - you have time only 4 more days! In this e-mail you will find some reminders about SU application process. Please read it carefully, because they are very important for this year procedure. All this information was also published at SU-L, in e-mails to SU responsible, BOARDINF-L and on SU official page (www.aegee.org/su). Here is just sum up from all these sources. Hope it will be of some use. 1. DEADLINE FOR SENDING APPLICATIONS 2. LAMA: BUG FIX + SU UPDATE 3. CHANGES OF THE PROJECTS AND NEW SU's 4. WHEN YOU SEND YOUR APPLICATIONS... (hints) 5. SU PROJECT DEADLINES 6. FEE FOR SU APPLICATIONS ==================================== 1. DEADLINE FOR SENDING APPLICATIONS The deadline is: 26TH OF APRIL 2002 AT 20.00 It is strongly recommended to send your applications before this deadline!!! 2. LAMA: BUG FIX + SU UPDATE - This year we didn't get CD-ROM with LAMA on time, so you had to download installation from the web (http://www.karl.aegee.org/LAMA). If you are not sure, check the version of LAMA when you open it. On the top should write LAMA 1.3! - Be careful that you downloaded LAMA after 23rd of March, otherwise you have version with some mistakes. In that case you have download and install new bugfixed version! - Because of the three additional Summer Universities, you have also to download an update for the SU data in LAMA. Note that none of those SUs have been printed in the SU booklet! You are likely to experience problems in both importing web-created applications and exporting the collected applications of your members for SUMASTER _unless_ you obtain this update! Simply download the correct "dat_sus.zip" file for your LAMA version (either for Access 2000 or for Access 97), then unzip the file and finally replace the old dat_sus.mdb file in your LAMA directory. The file can also be requested via e-mail by writing to [log in to unmask] with the message text (do not write this in the subject): get lama-update2000 get lama-update97 3. CHANGES OF THE PROJECTS AND NEW SU's Three additional Summer Universities (you can find it on Internet database, but they are not published in SU Booklet; you have to update your LAMA database!): - Castello (20.09-04.10) - Heidelberg (27.07-10.10) - Munich (18.08-01.09) Changes: - The SU Krakow (SU02KAR1) has corrected its date by one month and runs from August 15 to August 28. - The SU Constanta (SU02CON1) has corrected the fee to be 95 Euro plus 25 Euro for optional excursions. - The SC in Riga (SU02RIG1) has slightly changed dates and will begin one day earlier on June 21. - In the TSU (SU02VNZ1) organized by AEGEE-Venezia, AEGEE-Treviso and AEGEE-Trento which from the beginning included also AEGEE-Verona there has been a change so that TSU will not include stay in Verona. 4. WHEN YOU SEND YOUR APPLICATIONS: - be careful that you filled in all necessary data about antenna, SU responsible and of course 'export password' in your LAMA setup! You can find your Export password in e-mail that was sent to your local's e-mail. Write to [log in to unmask] in case you cannot find it anymore. - send applications before the deadline - If SUMASTER replies: "No command found - try the SUhelp command for details" this usually means that the e-mail that arrived at the SUMASTER mailbox was either completely empty, or contained an empty .sux attachments of 0 bytes size. This might be due to your mail server, but it could also be a small problem in the e-mail client code of LAMA. Whatever it is, there is a simple solution: If this happens to you, then please send the .sux file as attachment by using your standard e-mail program (instead of LAMA). - Do not send individual applications to SUMASTER (as generated by the web application). SU applications must be processed and authorized by the local board. Individual applications are simply ignored by SUMASTER. ;-> - Please wait for and read the reply of SUMASTER with great care and line-by-line. SUMASTER is a computer program, not a human being (rumor has it that SUMASTER is a direct descendent of the famous R2D2) - You may re-send your local's SU applications several times (as long as you stay within the deadline, that is ;->). Existing applications will be simply overwritten with the new data. If you want to DELETE an application entirely you may not completely remove the person from the database; instead create/edit the SU application in LAMA and assign _no_ choices at all. 5. SU PROJECT DEADLINES 21.04.2002: Suggested internal application deadline for locals 26.04.2002, 20.00h: Closure of the application phase 02.05.2002: Distribution of the pre-selection lists to organizers and sending locals 20.05.2002: Last day for organizers to make and publish the final selection 6. CHECK SU RESPONSIBLE You can check and apply possible changes for your SU responsible's data at: http://www.karl.aegee.org/suappass.nsf/Intro 6.
