[Till Wegmueller]

And with that we are 25!

Signups are still open for those reading this thread via digest or very 
delayed. But we will definetly move forward with the Formation. I will 
writeup a next step info over the next two three days once I can sit 
down again and start the Process.

Until then happy Greetings
Till
