Well, an announment of plans cannot hurt, just as long as you make clear that the facilities have not yet been assigned to us...
I also think it is important to stress that this will not be a "Wikipedia party", but hacking event with highly technical presentations. Partly to scare off the ones that are not looking for this, partly to attract those actually looking for it :)
Cheers! Siebrand

Excellent. February 7./8. sounds good, and WMDE willing, I'll be there. If WMDE decides to support this officially, I may even be able to spend some time helping with the organization.
I'M trying to decide if I should start spreading the news now, in order to reach as many people as possible, or if it's better to wait until we know we have been accepted. What do you think?
