We are :-) By which I mean people who consider themselves part of pro= mo and
might be interested in attending.

Yes :) =A0Also, I've sent an email= to the e.V. asking if anyone has suggested topics for us to tackle since p= eople on other teams might need help with things that we're not even aw= are of. =A0I doubt we can do everything in a single sprint but I figured it= 'd be helpful for populating our "to do" list if nothing else= . =A0

=A0

So, this is how it works:
- We find out who we are and where we live (that's why it is really imp= ortant
that you fill in the wiki page)
- Based on that, we can make some judgements about the better places to try=
and host it - are we mostly in Europe, US, elsewhere
- We then need to find a venue for the meeting, ideally free which needs so= me
desks, chairs and internet access - this might be a university or sympathet= ic
company that can lend us some space over a weekend. If you have any ideas please note them in the wiki
- We then need to finalise the venue and date, who is available to come, fi= nd
accommodation and apply to KDE e.V. for travel and accommodation funding (probably some combination of Justin, Sandro, Pradeepto, me and someone loc= al
to the venue can do that)
- KDE e.V. will have to consider whether our meeting is a good use of funds= .
There is money there to be spent, but it is not unlimited and has to be
justified - hence we look for a venue that has lowest costs for travel etc<= br>
In practice, we won't get everyone there because we won't have ever= yone free
at the same time and maybe not enough money too. However, indicating when y= ou
are free and where you live is a good way to raise the chance that it is he= ld
at a convenient time and somewhere that it isn't too expensive to get y= ou to

If you think you might know somewhere that could host the meeting, post it = in
the wiki page or, if it's confidential, let me and Justin know.

So we're definitely in the early planning = stages still but I'm glad to see there is interest from several people = already. =A0Please continue to post ideas and to flesh out some of the exis= ting ones. For example, we put the desktop summit stuff at the top but it&#= 39;d be good to have some specific objectives. =A0I will try and find some = time to ping the DS mailing list(s) about ideas if I can find the time but = if someone else has time and can get to that sooner please do.=A0
