Very convenient to make it during FOSDEM, so thanks for doing that. Any
thoughts on time for the meeting? Since people are flying in that day I
might propose a start between 1300 and 1500, depending a bit on how long
the meeting is expected to take, but even a 2 hour meeting from 15 would
allow for dinner plans around 1800/1900 ahead of the FOSDEM beer event
at least.

I'm very flexible, so should be able to make any meeting starting after
1200 or so.

In order to make the meeting more efficient, I recommend as much as
possible is sent out ahead of the meeting so it can be read through by
the participants before we start.

I'm curious how the figure EUR 24 came up (why not 25 for a round
number, is it thinking of montly contribution of EUR 2?), but to start
off discussion, could also regular donations to gnupg (since the
donation campaign etc) be counted towards this, or would it legally
require a separate one?

As for supporting members, I would propose different "rankings" of
member types, that don't really differ in anything but the amount
contributed yearly. Some ideas might be taken from e.g [apache
sponsorship], allowing for the possibility of contribute by private
individuals as well as  corporations of various sizes.
