Please let me know asap - Feb 8+9 is currently ok for me, as long as I can can leave midway through the second day (I have a gig in London booked that evening with my band). The week before would also be ok. The week after that, I am playing some gigs at squats in Germany, including one in Berlin, amusingly. But I don't think I'd have much time for WPD that weekend.

And by February we should be able to have the IA/landing pages firmed up a bit, so we can really start to crank out work on getting the individual pages looking top notch. > Sébastien, you're in as well, right? > > We plan to do two days for the sole purpose to have a party inbetween, and > will put a strong focus on inviting community leaders to inspire them to > replicate the event in their local communities (we might even have limited > lodging).

Ideally willing to act as… W3C - I can kind of fly that flag ;-) Google - Paul Kinlan? He's UK based, I think Microsoft - Martin Beeby? UK-based dev rel for MS… HP - ? Intel - ? Nokia - ?
