even if it feels bad to plan the next three lgm in europe, i can only
agree with martin here.

does anybody want to take care of the idea and better link the local
(both regional and topic wise) events with the "main" lgm?

some of the existing events i'm thinking of are:

- fossasia in asia
- the various OSP activities
- grafiklabor in france
- the rmll (graphics track) in france
- opensourcedesign (OSD) meeting in berlin
- OSD and other communities at fosdem
- gnugraf in rio (of course!)

i think that the minimum we can do, is to make those events visible on
each lgm site...
