Peter,

I might interest you that I'm working for the company that does the IT 
for AVS (not the domain in this address).
(fyi - i never saw this mail, i'm a fan and as Manuel puts it: I Kno 
Nothing)

I'm also interested in the get-together in Gent and Peter, I'd love to 
hear your ideas towards AVS, as well as other linux/ubuntu-related 
people, ofcourse.
