Any questions

Interested attendees

Hi, I think that probably a including a list of interested attendees should be a good idea, like in Wikimania. Another one could be a list of "topics to be covered" (QRpedia, outreach....) --Kippelboy (talk) 12:25, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Good idea, Done --Fæ (talk) 06:44, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
