Also, 6 months is a good term, but does > this mean, that there is going to be one more meeting in another 6 months? That is at least my intention. Most likely during/before/after the 2010 Plumbers Conference which is held in Cambridge, MA, USA, November 3-5. There will also be an Embedded Linux Conference this fall in Europe. And I think I heard that that will be held in Cambridge, UK (so don't mix those two up :-) ). It is likely that I will be there as well. In general: if people are interested in an interim meeting between European developers, then just let me know. I should be able to organize something like that at the Tandberg offices in Norway, for example.
