Subject: [CREATE] LGM 2012 in Vienna?<br><br>
<br>
Hello,<br>
<br>
I was asked to say something to the list about the possibility to host<br>
the LGM @ Vienna, Austria, Europe.<br>
I am from the organizing team of the Linuxwochen Wien which is an<br>
annual event covering free and open source software in Vienna.<br>
Our event is part of a chain of free software events all over Austria<br>
including Linuxwochen Linz which already has a focus on libre arts.<br>
The next event in Vienna would be on May 4th- May 6th 2012. It would<br>
be an honour for us to have a joint conference at that date with you.<br>
If you are intereted please contact me and tell what are your<br>
requirements and needs to make it happen.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Daniel for the Linuxwochen organizers<br>
