For example where should such a foundation be based , who is going to govern it etc. etc. OEDEM Frosconn and t-dose are the first opurtunities that we will be present . I invited you for t-dose as well for a keynote. Kind Regards, Gerwin -- The Holographic Klop Doctor - 0 - | \|\ |/ | /| _|_| Underneath the mango tree :)
