Dear Gerd,

I guess at least we will have time to talk in Come, I'll bethere from 
tuesday evening until friday early morning.

0. very welcome - as you are the first to rise your hand, how about 
taking the chair?

5. no matter. s.a.

6. great idea! I've heard of this basecamp at all and maybe it's worth 
getting in contact with them. At least a possibility to name on the 
website.

8. As chair of the marketing committee (see 0.) you might influence 
that. Maybe thinking about the red and yellow of the emblem of Bonn? 
Although FOSSGIs is german speaking we are at least "DACH", which also 
includes Austria and Switzerland.... (and, glad to know, that WE and 
noth the dutch team won the cup ;-))

9. great input, thanks! Siebengebirge is very present, if you are at 
the rhine in Bonn and have a look south. And also marks the transition 
between the "Mittelrhein" and the "Niederrhein" - just before dutch 
people named the river "Waal"

So far, ple
