Hi Nicolas,

There was one in the CERN courier.
> 2/ communication to python / zope related mailing lists and sites ?

No idea. I will try to contact them tomorrow.

It's not yet clear who exactly of CERN. But there will be one.

> 5/ contact with local LUGs (Linux users groups) who could help ? (as

I have no contact at all to the LUG here. My french isn't good enough  
for that. Is here someone else with contact to them? Or should I ask  
the linux gurus on site?

Cool! I missed that one. But I life just across the border in France.
