Michiel, I too would like to see something in europe.

I'll be going to "socialnet 3.0" in August in Berlin, which has some CCC
folks I think.  Hopefully I'll be able to demo tabulator a complete
javascript social network in your browser

We had a really productive 2 day workshop at TPAC 2012 in November in Lyon,
where the FSW group was one of the joint themes.  The session was packed,
but I think only 1-2 from this list attended

Regarding standarization, I think it's difficult to argue that facebook is
not the leader in terms of both adoption and engineering.  Without facebook
at the table, I think standarization would be a slightly different prospect.
