Looks like they're not too far along in planning yet:

They look a bit further along in planning than Linux Kongress:
http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2003/
and they evidently have at least one guy on the organising committe
who's on the ball :-)

LinuxTag is my favorite so far, fwiw, as
1) it looks fairly well organized and interesting in its own right
2) it's not freezing cold like Espoo in February would be
3) it's in a German-speaking country (I didn't learn my Grandma's
Finnish too well, but I did learn my Grandpa's German!)
4) it's the least likely of the bunch to conflict with the
arrival of my first kid on 31 July, the first day of the Edinburgh event :-)
