Soliciting feedback seems to be the major problem at the moment ;) The
ruby mailing lists (ruby-talk in particular) are the only real ruby
resource I typically monitor, so I'm not sure what other lists the
event is being published on. For publicity, we should probably spam at
least all the German language Ruby/RoR resources and, judging by last
years participants, all the UK ones as well. As soon as the date and
location are fixed, also have some press releases to the relevant
German press (heise, anything else?)

My estimate would be that attendance would be rougly similar to last
years maybe +10%. If we have some sort of rudimentary registration, we
could at least make sure whatever location is picked won't get
flooded.

Are you currently the only person  organising? Is there a mailing list
or something similar that could be used for the people who are
interested in helping to interact and coordinate? I only collected
about two or three addresses of people I met last year, but it might
be a good idea to contact as many of last years attendants as possible
directly.

Have you considered using the barcamp infrastructure
(http://barcamp.org/) to organize? The type of conference this will be
is sufficiently similar, the ruby is interesting to the barcamp crowd
and showing a presence there would generate some publicity in and of
itself.

The wiki used last year is still functional (if ugly), but it's also
linked to from a lot of places and doesn't mention this year's
conference at all.

Since I'm in Cologne, I won't be much use to organize anything in
Munich directly, but I'd be willing to:

- organize nametags (as offered last year)
- create/host a mailing list
- help organize structure a wiki (or some other mode of interaction
for the organizers)
- give a presenation
- try to collect related forums that we could use for announcements
- send off a quick note to the people who's addresses I collected last year
- throw around ideas
- more or less anything someone else thinks of that would be feasible
to manage from Cologne :)

Thanks very much for taking the initiative to organise this year's Euroko!

Cheers,
