Hi Knut,
I have been quite busy myself as well , lot of embedded work and lot of
php/java work.
I am busy with a wimax kind of smartphone for the asian market which will run
of course linux(currently hardware design fase). And some smaller projects so
it is quite busy at this moment.

Yes I think so , the main problem is that our main developers are in the
Netherlands , Germany , England and Poland. So yes we can send a delegation
but I don't think that all developers will be there . I think we have a
bigger chance if we organize something like this in the Netherlands or
Germany.

We discussed about this also during fosdem and later on as well on irc, the
main problem is time and knowledge . For example where should such a
foundation be based , who is going to govern it etc. etc.
OEDEM Frosconn and t-dose are the first opurtunities that we will be present .
I invited you for t-dose as well for a keynote.
Kind Regards,
Gerwin
