Interesting idea. I'm sure we could contribute many desparate single male geeks to such a party. :-)

Realistically speaking, throwing such a party would require resources we do not have at present. But it might be possible to "partner" such an event if the people organizing it like the idea.

I've been CC'ing this to the open German-speaking FSF Europe mailing list, maybe someone has contacts to the organizers...

rs> Hello everybody!

...

Did you know that FSF in Germany stands for "Fisch sucht Fahrrad"? Translation: fish seeks bicycle. An FSF-party is a singles gathering, I think.

rs> Yep, you're right.

...

I'm not sure whether the expression is widely used.

rs> Well, I don't know either, but there are regular FSF-Parties in the Curiohaus in Hamburg (once a month, AFAIK). rs> (cf. also http://www.unna-ezine.de/kontakt/, they use the term to describe their corresponding ads column)
