The main problem I see is about the location. We should find a place close
to the "center of gravity" of the participants to minimize the trips. I
imagine it could be in France, Paris or around there, but there are so few
French people active on LUGNET we might have problems in finding the
necessary logistic support.

I think there are quite a few French LEGO fans online, but they're having
trouble getting organized.  There was a vote about a year ago for a new
Usenet group fr.rec.jeux.lego, but it didn't get enough Yes votes (I think
it was 20 short of 100).  It's just a matter of finding a few people to get
it started, I think.  (Just like when you guys in Italia discovered LUGNET
a little over 3 months ago, and then /loc/it/ gathered momentum rapidly...)

Anyway, I have a European Legofest in mind because it's been so great to
meet many Lugnetters in person at the Mindfest, and I'd love to repeat
this kind of experience without necessarily flying overseas.

We should find a proper newsgroup where to discuss this topic (Todd, any
suggestion?). Every local newsgroup could nominate a delegate to represent
its country during the discussion, just to keep the signal/noise ratio to
an acceptable level.

I would suggest posting a wide announcement and directing followups to
groups like lugnet.robotics.events & lugnet.org -- for example:

   Newsgroups: lugnet.announce,lugnet.robotics.events,lugnet.org,
               lugnet.loc.at,lugnet.loc.be,lugnet.loc.ch,lugnet.loc.dk,
               lugnet.loc.de,lugnet.loc.es,lugnet.loc.fi,lugnet.loc.fr,
               lugnet.loc.ie,lugnet.loc.it,lugnet.loc.nl,lugnet.loc.no,
               lugnet.loc.pt,lugnet.loc.se,lugnet.loc.uk

   Followup-To: lugnet.robotics.events,lugnet.org
