Hi,
I just heard about an unconference event called "RegioWikiCamp". I imagine it will be of interest to lots of folks living near Germany (if you are not all conferenced out after Wikimania!).
http://wiki.regiowiki.eu/RegioWikiCamp_2009
"It will be from September 25th to 27th. The event is located in Furtwangen the middle of the beautiful Black Forest in Germany. It is organised by the European Regiowiki Society, location host is the faculty of Digital Media of the Furtwangen University of Applied Science."
I see that some of the attendees include WMDE, Wikia and Semantic MediaWiki, so it must not be a completely unknown event, although I didn't find it mentioned on these lists yet.
cheers Brianna

While I will definitely not go there, this is not far from my place.
If you need a hub to get there - feel free to contact me. Unfortunately Furtwangen is a very remote place right in the middle of the black forest. While nice during summer in winter they have got the highest suicidal rate at the university there as you're really stuck in a dark valley up there with not many possibilities to do something or to get somewhere.
Ways to get there: By train from Switzerland, Germany, France via Basel (national stations for all three national railways) via ICE to Offenburg via RE to Triberg then bus to Furtwangen
By aircraft fly to EuroAirport Basel/Freiburg/Mulhouse IATA BSL/MLH/EAP take the swiss exit via Bus line 50 to Basel SBB then via train as described above
Alternatively there is also a small airport "Baden Airport" near Karlsruhe and Baden-Baden, but there is only a bus line to Baden-Baden (where you can also pick an RE to Triberg).
