Hi Daniel,

Looking at the table of registrants:

110 signed up before it was closed.
81 made it
29 didn't, hereof:

AU: 6
DE: 12
CH: 2
DK: 3
BE: 1
FR: 2
SL: 3

This yields a german percentage of 41% making it the largest single group as 
you say. DK/BE/FR/SL represents 31% of those not making it with the payment 
though!

So transfer times constitute an uneven chance then.

It's not the point who is on the list, but how fast people have to run to make 
it. Lazy germans make it, lazy danes doesn't. Not an even chance.

> May be you are not aware how big TYPO3 is in Germany?

Yes, we know. That's the problem also: I thought we were committed to help 
TYPO3 grow outside the central european region that obviously doesn't need 
birth-help anymore.
