We discussed about the potential and the need to have an European local OSGeo chapter, which is not "above" the local chapters and which does not overtake tasks, that are already well covered by OSGeo.org, but that overtakes different, special European-related tasks and challenges, that aren't already covered by local chapters or by OSGeo.org itself.
