So it seems that "the Europe-wide event" is gaining a lot of positive 
feedback. I think it's time to discuss more in depth the different 
aspects of the event:

- The name of the event.
  * I propose "LinuxFest" (the domain linuxfest.org and many other 
national domains are available). Any other name should contain the word 
"Linux" in it.
- When should the event be held?
- How the central team should be organized?
  * I think we should distinguish the tools used by the central team 
from those seen by the public. I think a plain mailing list should 
suffice at the moment. We can arrange a Wiki later.
- What should go in the common understanding among all the groups (the 
guidelines)?
  * I think that the guidelines should be as simple as possible in 
order to allow maximum freedom for every group partecipating to the 
event. For instance the event arranged by the local groups must promote 
only free software (which license? I foresee a flame war here :)), must 
be open to everyone and completely free of charge and so on.
- What shouldn't go in the common understandig?
 * See the above. For example we should never restrict the schedule or 
impose a sponsor.

In addition I'm confident that the Linux User Group in Rome (Lugroma) 
will be glad to provide technological support to the central team even 
for the public resources. Recently we've acquired a new rackmountable 
server (a 3Ghz Xeon with 3GB of RAM) located into a server farm with a 
gigabit-class connection to the Internet.
