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
