[Caminol10n] Mozilla Camp EU 2009

[Marcello Testi]

Following Sam offering to help out as much as he can, I ask the people
of Caminol10n to **tell me** if they're interested in coming to
MozCamp EU for a Caminol10n meetup and possibly some kind of
involvement with other Mozilla community events.

Not having spoken to Mozilla Europe, yet, I can't say which kind of
facilitations we could have from Mozilla, if any...

*** Please respond as soon as you can (before the end of this week),
*** so that next week I will have a realistic idea about the number
*** of people who can go to Prague.

Please respond privately to me, and feel free to add comments and
questions. I will try to gather also your budget worries, so I have a
clearer idea of what is needed from Mozilla to get this thing started.

Thanks.
Ciao.
Marcello.
