Would it be an idea to have a skype meeting/google hangout with participating countries about the international Wiki Loves Earth contest? Just to get an idea about what everybody is planning and to exchange ideas?
and a quick question: Which logo is the official Wiki Loves Earth logo? In the Netherlands we are having a kickoff meeting tommorrow with volunteers and a respresentative of the dutch National Park<http://www.nationaalpark.nl/documents/home.xml?lang=nl> . The local contest will be held in May and June (images and sounds), and it looks like we can start other projects that will run under the wings of Wiki Loves Earth too.
