Erik I've responded to your survey (don’t know how useful my response will be, I've said "yes" to everything)
One idea: we have a quarterly meeting of the Cloudstack EU UG. We got 50 along to the last one. It’s a different audience to the usual CCC attendees (more users than devs) For the next one (early June), we're planning on having it in Berlin Andre and the folks from BitGroup are taking the lead on it It would seem perfectly logical to me to combine anything we (i.e. the community) do with one of these UG's - gain more critical mass more quickly and make it more attractive to potential sponsors I'm not sure how far down the path Andre et al are with logistics and whether the idea of making this into a bigger thing would scare him, but it may be worth you two syncing on this We only have these meetings quarterly, the one after June would clash with Brasil so likely not to happen Kind Regards Giles [ShapeBlue]<http://www.shapeblue.com> Giles Sirett CEO , ShapeBlue d: +44 20 3603 0541 | s: +44 203 603 0540<tel:+44%20%2020%203603%200541%20|%20s:%20+44%20203%20603%200540> | m: +44 7961112055<tel:+44%207961112055> e: giles.sir...@shapeblue.com | t: <mailto:giles.sir...@shapeblue.com%20|%20t:> | w: www.shapeblue.com<http://www.shapeblue.com> a: 53 Chandos Place, Covent Garden London WC2N 4HS UK [cid:imagef75a51.png@9b4c10d3.42a21c03] Shape Blue Ltd is a company incorporated in England & Wales.

I guess there are more than me having a hard time travelling that far and long, so I would like to check the interest for an EU based event. Unless someone comes up with a big money jar it won't be as fancy as the previous ones. If you could fill out this poll[1] and/or respond to this email, that would be great.
