Hello everyone,

During the Coworking Europe conference we set up a public folder for
the Bar Camp notes and summaries.
They were there yesterday and were not there this morning.
The last person to have 'edited' the folder was Rashid Baset.

If you know this person please send the contact details right away, as
the only way we can see to retrieved the deleted docs is if Rashid
still has them in the 'trash' and has not emptied it.

We hope this was a mistake and that we will retrieve all of the files.
If no one knows Rashid (no one related to organizing the conference
does - and Rashid was not in the attendee list), then we may assume
that this was somehow done intentionally. If so, then this is a lesson
learned, and we will have to devise new ways for large scale open
collaboration so it does not happen again.

The good news is, we have already taken most of the information out of
these files in summary form, so all is not 100% lost.

If you know how to retrieve through Google docs in another way please
contact me.

Thank you for any help in this matter.

All the best,

Julianne

My resident geek expert says: "As far as I know I don't think anything
on Google is deleted permanently. I would have them contact Google
directly to see if they can restore the folder."

This is definitely good experience for us to have, will be interested
to hear how it gets resolved.

Hey all, we got a response from Google - and YAY! We have the files
back

Please visit here:
for the notes.

They are no longer editable by everyone, but if you would like to add
anything or edit, please just get in touch with me.
