[CREATE] LGM 2008

[Femke Snelting]

Dear Kamila, dear list

OSP votes for LGM 2008 in Poland! We're much interested in Eastern 
European free software + graphic energy, think Breslau is beautiful and 
also that AASO seems to be an inspiring context for a meeting.

Good luck preparing and already looking forward,

Pierre, Harrisson, Femke, Nicolas
