Yes, finally :)

Ever since I came home from the last dev sprint, I wondered whether we could 
not do the next meeting at Berlin. I could organize it. The advantages:

- good to reach
- "nearby" for those that live in Germany and relatively near for Niko
- a friend of mine has experience with accommodations, he organized things for 
an Amarok sprint and several times during the LinuxTag fair, should be 
affordable
- I work at the IT department of the Physics faculty at the FU-Berlin, hence 
it's no problem at all to get a room for hacking, with really fast networking 
etc.
- maybe some of the guys over at KDAB or from Qt Software could attend, or at 
least meet for dinner or similar.
- probably the killer advantage for adymo: German beer :)

Of course the beer + "reachability" would work for any place in Germany, with 
even better beer more to the south :)

disadvantages:
- not as cheap as Ukraine
- not as good Vodka as in Ukraine :)
- longer distances / more time in public transportation, when you get from 
your flat to the university e.g.
