So should I create a doodle? Or open a forum and put the link here? And 
how do we organize the discussion ahead to plan everything? Forum or ML?

How much time ahead should it be prepared? I mean: what is reasonable 
for a sprint time? I'm currently in Berlin, and I know that a lot of 
contributors are there, so why not? However if we can join the people in 
CERN, it's great too (even better :D).

As I said, CERN would be great. Else I'm working in a place which uses 
KDE a lot (another particle accelerator in Berlin). If we are enough 
people, maybe I can try to get a room there.

Ok there were a lot of questions :)

Looking forward for your inputs!
