I loved Johan's OSGeo theme day at FOSDEM. But Bas is right, we need some quiet time together. We could investigate a Brussels hotel/hackspace either side of FOSDEM? If we are mostly European, Andreas suggested Linux Tage in Chemnitz to me in the past. I don't know how good that is for BoF time. FSCONS in Goeteborg, Sweden was good last year. Easy for me to get to, and much smaller (plenty of rooms to occupy). Should we jot the known events on the wiki with dates and list who is thinking of going?
