[Wikimedia-l] Big Fat Brussels Gathering

Thu Mar 7 16:02:06 UTC 2013

I really don't get you, you wish to facilitate something that will affect
about 20 chapters directly in the future (those situated within the EU) and
you don't think it would overlap the Milan event? And no real need to talk
about it there?
