I'm contemplating to go for the odd chance to meet other (gEDA) developers and/or users, as Brussels is not that far away for me, just a 2 hour drive from Amsterdam and not slightly longer by hi-speed rail link. I'm not going to speak to an audience for reasons of not having prepared a speak and having issues with hearing disabilities. Is anyone in the EU (or further away) interested in coming too ? Please let us all know if you are in for a gEDA "meet and greet". Kind regards, Bert Timmerman.
