Does that mean you will manage the conferences?

a couple of random thoughts:
- is it worthwhile to call it "Free Hardware" instead of F-CPU and invite
  other projects as well? (I'm thinking about geda but there are certainly
  more)
- there have been a lot of discutions on the french mailing-list about
  creating a french association. I think it should be delayed after the LSM
  so that foreign developpers can be involved too.

You should ask for an account on seul.org; they are _not_ on a modem link :)

We are.

IMHO, I think it would slow down development; and cvs gives you the
oportunity to recreate the previous state of the file if you make mistakes.

Just do it. Ask the cvs admin (Andreas Romeyke, IIRC) an account and then
update the file CVSROOT/modules
