Manning a stand is not really my piece of cake, but I will be at T-DOSE
next weekend. I heard a rumour that FSFE might not be there (despite
being listed on the website) because there was some confusion about
dates resulting in double booking.

Translations are indeed important because I sometimes find myself not
pointing someone to (a page on) the website because I know they'll be
turned off by English (or just unable to understand it). I also know
that good translating eats up a lot of time, which is why I'm reluctant
to commit to the job for the long term (I don't like making promises I
can't keep).

You have my vote for fsfe-bnl. I believe in an earlier discussion
fsfe-nl was found to be deprecated.
