If euronog turns out become a living group this would be for sure
an interesting approach. As others (CENTR, for instance) start
to meet in conjunction with RIPE, too.

I donīt know who is in charge of planning the euronog-meetings,
but this person should in fact discuss this with meeting@localhost.
As euronog, even if it will become a success, will for sure start
as a rather small group, it would make sense to use unneeded room-capacity
from the ripe-meetings; especially not letting the meeting concurrent
to for instance EOF ... (for instance at 44, the St.J. I was emty at Wed
and Thu).

Well, I think there is a possibility to make both parties profit
from such an aproach, as many techs think that the RIPE-Meetings
are to less tech and too much administrative stuff.
(Which is not true, IMHO, espacially during the coffee-breaks & social
events).

You donīt need to be a member for attending the meetings, AFAIR.
