Hi Just to keep everybody informed, I spoke with Stehmann who usually organize and man the AOO stand at FOSCOM.
They intent to be at FOSDEM this year, and welcomes a combined stand ! This actually means that we have to a large degree solved the problem about manning the stand (Stehmann, myself and a couple of volunteers). rgds jan I.
