Hi Phelim, Matilda, Jon and Romy,
What a great initiative. This year, I did not
make it to Berlin. I do plan to make it to London
in 2012, even though it is still far away. And I
have marked 6 and 7 November on my calendar. I
would like to contribute to the preparations, so count me in.
Best wishes,
Koos
