Several well-known things lead to a special CSM summit being held in Iceland the 30th of June – 1st of July on very short notice. This summit consisted of three main topics: the latest expansion, EVE Online: Incarna and the introduction of Captain’s Quarters; the debut of the Noble Exchange; and CCP’s plans for the sale of virtual goods in EVE.
At the end of the summit, a summary of the conclusions was published when it concluded, and as with all CSM summits so far the minutes were to follow soon after. Obviously that was not the case this time. As with all sensitive matters that have to be agreed upon by many people, it takes time to create a document that everyone can accept. It is important to keep in mind that CSM meeting minutes are not released unless both CCP and the CSM give their approval. This is a mandate that I have set as the CSM Project Manager and I stand by it even if it means delays like this one.
Both parties had strong opinion regarding the content, presentation and tone of the minutes and so a considerable amount of time and effort was spent in reaching a compromise. These things might sound trivial and many people might call it a battle of semantics, but the content of these minutes are far from trivial. They are very important to both participants in the summit and everyone wanted them to properly reflect the tone from the meetings.
The minutes have now been accepted by both parties and can be viewed here: CSM Special Summit minutes.

EVE Online Fanfest 2012: March 22-24
The Eighth Party at the Top of the World... now in a new location!
It is time to start marking your calendars for the 2012 Fanfest in Reykjavik, Iceland, held for the first time in the brand new Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre; an amazing new home for Fanfest that welcomes us with open arms.

I guess it is also time for me to reintroduce myself to all of you since my debut in Fanfest 2009 (actually I was the event manager for Fanfest '07 and Fanfest '08 as a contractor). I am CCP Tyr, your personal Fanfest guy. My goal is to bring you exponentially better Fanfests, and I think I have managed to do just that. But with the explosive growth of Fanfest the last couple of years, and especially the Party at the Top of the World, I have decided to refocus the event on you, the attendees. More EVE stuff, exclusive Fanfest attendee treatment at the party, improved Pub Crawls, DUST 514 goodies and more.
And please, by all means, if you think there is something I can do to improve your Fanfest experience, drop me a line and give me your valuable feedback – fanfestsupport@eveonline.com.
Back to the important stuff, Fanfest 2012!

Fanfest brings together players in a massive celebration of EVE Online. Travelers from all around the world gather in one of the most beautiful and unique locations the planet has to offer. Allies and rivals alike set aside their in-game differences to share drinks with one another and forge new friendships. CCP developers mingle with the community, always up for "talking shop" and getting to know the fans.
Iceland is the world’s must-see vacation destinations, and if you haven’t been to one of our previous Fanfests, we encourage you to come.The many wonders of Iceland await your arrival. The Sisters of EVE Program will give your friend or partner a chance to visit Iceland along with you: Details regarding the program coming soon.
Get ready for another crazy weekend of:

• Pub Crawling and hanging out with the developers
• Round Tables
• Presentations with new EVE Video Premieres
• PVP tournaments
• The Party at the Top of the World!
• Poker Tournament
• Battle of the Bands
• Silent Auction
• Live Agents
• Chessboxing?.....I guess not, but you can just imagine what those crazy devs are planning this time.
• And much more!

Further details, including flights and accommodation and Fanfest 2012 Access Pass availability, will be announced later, as the event draws closer. Stay tuned for further updates.
* Please note that you have to be 18 years or older to enter the Fanfest area.
