Hi,
a meeting @ linuxtag would be a reason for me to go there. Until now I
hadn't planned it.
As we toyed with the idea of a get-together of the german apache people
around christmas last year (gee, another six months gone?), this would
be a nice thing to have/do. Anyone else interested?
Regards
Henning
