Infrastructure status
- domain names status quo: olpc-europe.org and olpceurope.org point to OLPC Europe, no mail addresses are in use
- application of dev project for newsletter,etc. has stalled. Holger will send a reminder email to the devel list
- Chris has been too busy to work on the newsletter. He will post a request for newsletter content on the mailing list, because without help the 10 Feb. newletter will be rather short. The news will be collected on a wiki page since the git repo is not available yet.
