Face2face edu meeting, with a preset agenda would be the best. Email 
list, IRC etc are not very good in my opinion. In fact, I would prefer a 
well-done email list meeting because I tend to need time to think :)

I'm not sure what you mean by the "FOSS Edu Meeting in 2013"?

I believe the next good opportunity after Girona is Nottingham. I assume 
the OSGIS will run next summer too?

Have you received any abstracts for the english-language track of the 
conference yet? How does it look, will it happen?
