Dear all,

As you know probably, the Chapters Meeting 2010 will take place in Berlin, Germany from April 16-18. In order to make the necessary arrangements, we will need all chapters to send some basic information. I have set up a form [1] where you can fill in / select a few specific details relevant to your chapter.

To be able to take the next steps in the organization of the meeting, it is important to know who the contact person(s) will be at your chapter regarding this meeting - even if you don't know yet who will be your representative(s). Also I would like to know how many people you will be sending (1 or 2).

Wikimedia Deutschland is working on a funding program again for those chapters who can't afford travel costs themselves. Please indicate (as soon as possible) whether you would like to apply for this. Also please indicate it as soon as possible if you need any assistance for visa to enter Germany.

If there is a question you can't answer yet, please just leave that field blank and send the answer later by email, or clarify the situation in an "other" field. Any information is better than no information.

Since we are already on a tight schedule, I would like to ask that you fill in the main points before the end of next week (but the sooner the better). Please contact me directly if you have any specific questions.

I hope for quick replies. With kind regards,

Lodewijk Gelauff

P.S.: your input on the schedule topics would be very much welcomed at [2].
