Hello all,

I haven't seen a reply to this one, so this is an attempt to get some 
of
the facts straight.

Jan Stedehouder, who started the campaign, has retired it. Since the
Dutch government had gone into re-election, Jan thought it was time to
move on and see what the new-chosen government would do. He also stated
that he wasn't going to pull it off, according to Jan someone else who
can devote his/her time to it would be a better candidate.

I think personally that it's okay to take it offline, unless somebody
jumps into action right now.

First of all, I haven't seen a notification of the new Dutch 'leader'.
As far as I have heard, Maurice Verheesen was too slow to run away from
getting elected on T-DOSE. ;)

Second, how many Dutchies are reading this and what do they want to
do?

Third, I would love to invite FSFE(-NL) to join one (or more) meetings
of the NLLGG. The next one would be a week after FOSDEM, 9 februari.

Kind regards,
