I am very enthusiastic about Kurt's suggestion here, and I propose
that we set this date as well for the founding of a German
organization of some sort, as determined after our inquiry into the
finer points of German law and a consideration of the possibilities
open to us.
I am personally planning to spend some vacation time in Berlin and
Munich, and if I can find suitable arrangements, I would like to stay
in Europe for much longer, possibly as much as a month or two, with
the primary purpose of working with Europeans on Wikimedia stuff.

Jimbo will be there and Erik is organizing a panel called "Wikipedia and
friends":

We're also thinking about a Wikipedia mini conference on the WOS3. It
would be great if some people from the other "European" communities
could visit us and talk about their communities.
