Hi, I had asked already about the Maemo community vs languages, and now I'm asking about the Maemo community vs places. It might be that this topic has been discussed before, but if so it would be good to reach a practical conclusion this time.

There are thousands of users registered at maemo.org and there is a field for "Country" in your maemo.org profile. And that's it.

Now, we are getting an increasing need to meet people in concrete places. Just in recent weeks we have got Maemo developer events in several cities, we are discussing about the possibility to have an Italian Long Weekend, Nokia France just opened http://www.maemo-nokia.fr/ and wants to invite Maemo contributors to events, Nokia Russia or Middle East are also interested in events involving Maemo contributors...

On the community side there are also more and more ideas to meet somewhere and do something, or simply communicate more often.

maemo.org has actually a CRM in place, somewhere in its backstage. We used it for the first time in the N810 device program and it's powering the registrations of our events.

So I wonder how could we use maemo.org more and better in order to bring this online community to the physical space as well?
