Hi,

just talked to the knallgrau devs. and they can't join at 10am. most of them thought it would start in the late afternoon / afterwork. so those who will be there at 10, should decide how long we want to stay, so that those who will come later can still join. (i can stay 'till 7pm). manfred (werkzeugH) told me, that they need the room after 6pm, but we could also move over to the k-werkstatt (which is our office right next door to the werkzeugH) after 6pm.

I agree with Matthias, let's just start at 10am. If we start at 2pm
and we later find that we could have used these four hours, there will
be no way to get them back. Approaching this kind of as a major
brainstorming in a barcamp / open space fashion sounds like the right
idea.

Anyway, I added a second topic to the wiki, just to broaden then scope
a little: "Setting up a non-profit organization to support the Helma
project: Which kind of services should such an organization provide in
order to best serve as a catalyst between different stakeholders in
the Helma project? What should it do, what should it not do?"
