I think we can probably expect ±100 to ±200 people so it would take some organising and the time to the event is not to long. I think if we cannot find a champion (like Lene was for Nødebo) we should rather thing about leaving out the user conference part (which would be a pity).</div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div class="gmail_extra"><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_extra">about your requests...
