 ===FSWeekend===
-''We will write a (short) report about the event and add some pictures.''
+This month we've presented FlightGear at the annual FSWeekend meeting held in the aviodrome museum in Lelystad, the Netherlands. This year, we (Durk Talsma, Martin Spott, Torsten Dreyer, Gijs de Rooy, and Jorg van der Venne) presented FlightGear there for the fourth time, and on every occasion our presentation is getting bigger and bigger. This year we managed to bring five separate demo stations. Four of these were configured to drive three monitors each, and the fifth one was a FlightGear procedure trainer. In addition, we had access to a wireless modem, and a projector. During the event, a multiplayer event was organized at EHAM, in which a number of booth members participated. Looking back, it seems quite unreal that we managed to bring five individual computers, more than 15 TFT monitors, yokes, joysticks, dozens of cables, several USB hubs, a projector, network switches, a UMTS router, several notebook computers and a coffee maker, hook it all up and have a working multiplayer enabled FlightGear network running.
+Some pictures of the event can be found here[http://www.xs4all.nl/~dtalsma/FSWeekend/web/index.html], or alternatively check out [http://www.xs4all.nl/~dtalsma/FSWeekend/web/index.html] for a bref video impression.
