I have been to one LinuxTag before, while it was still situated in
Karlsruhe, which is right around the corner, but found it rather dull
there. It is a Germans only event and although I had a few interesting
discussions with developers at that time, the LinuxTag has in general
more a business/public meets Linux projects concept.

What we would like to have, a day or to, where we could sit together and
evolve on GNUstep and its different aspect, just wont fit in during that
time. We wont have a developers room and some of us would have to sit at
the booth all day long.

If we decide to have a meeting in Berlin, I would of course try to make
it there, but what is the extra benefit of the LinuxTag?
