Hi,

As some of you already may have noticed there is the "First European
Idea Competition of the Satellite Navigation" called "GALILEO Masters
2004" [1]. Stefan Richter announced the idea to participate. Only
european companies are allowed so Wikimedia Germany or freiheit.com [2]
(the company where Stefan Richter works) would apply. Deadline is Friday
the 30th of this month. To participate you have to fill in a
questionaire [3] and you may add up to two images.

We already have most of the proposal and a discussion with collections
of ideas [4] - the latter mostly in German but the proposal is the most
important.

Missing tasks:

* We need the cooperation of Wikimedia Foundation and the community
* Who should participate (the competition is aimed to small companies so
maybe freiheit.com would be good choice for a cooperation)?
* Formulating the missing answers
* Perfecting all the answers
* Two images for demonstration purpose (I drew [5] but some fictious
screenshots may be more suasive)
* Summarizing and translating the discussion and the ideas (mainly for
us and later)

Everybody is invited to participate until next wendsday (deadline).
Please try to seperate discussion and proposals or summaries. We should
have a conclusive concept before starting to implement anything. I am
sure that we will have the most useful database of free annotated
geographical data in two years! There are applications most of the
normal internet or encyclopedia reader has not even dreamed of. Let's go
for it!

Just tell me what you need of me, and I will do my best. However, I
am going out of town Saturday for 1 week, and I am unsure as to how
much access to the net I will have. Hopefully Angela and Anthere can
take up the slack on behalf of the foundation.
