Re: [C/C Europe 25] [discuss] chair person & BOF
Hi all, I would also like to volunteer to help on this. Is there a slot and exact time already scheduled on Monday for the BOF?

Re: [C/C Europe 25] [DISCUSS] Where to hold the conference
Shane, Good ideas. My only comment is that nobody has stood up and said "I'll drive". So there is nobody to create the page, nobody to say: "Hey, put your ideas over there". I'm still waiting for that person to put their head above the parapet.

Re: [C/C Europe 25] [discuss] chair person & BOF
My one addition to all this is that ideally the chair, but at least someone central to the planning, should speak the language of the chosen city.
