How many people so far are interested? This counter should be "public" (like in the README) and updated I think.

Good idea, please add yourself to the wiki :)

@ccdesales, maybe you could link to it from the README? Also, add your email for people that don't have a Github account.

As soon as we have figured out the details of the venue as well as the date, we should publish a "real" CFP.

It should contain:

Call for speakers
Call for helpers
Call for people just interested in attending (newsletter maybe)

I think it would also be cool to explicitly encourage proposals from women, to avoid being a male-speaker-only conference. I'm sure there are some qualified people around :)

Regarding the newsletter, I've created a Google group, which we can use for people to sign up for updates and at the same time to post questions to us, the organising committee.
