Hi Ed,
good to hear your voice on this. I am responsible for placing Weimar in the game. Whoever can secure funding for such an event goes forward. I am working on it (all-though atm. a bit distracted because of the ISEA presentation next week), but please don't feel discouraged to do so as well.

Hi Joao
I am wondering if you or anyone else could let me know how advanced the plans for a PDCon11 in Germany are? Because I sat down this morning to start organising the PDCon11 in London and then read your email.
I'm pretty sure we've got institutional support (a university) and possibly some funding if we can pull it off - although the climate for funding in this country has just got really bad (the new government are swine).
I don't want to duplicate...

I think you understood the question, you just answered it. so it seems simple.
I don't have the contacts in Berlin to put up something like this. But since am not far from Weimar, wouldn't mind trying to help with something - in case the practical side of it makes it possible.
why Weimar in particular? If in germany, why not Berlin for example? Or even both?
because max is at weimar, and sees (or: has seen) possibilities to get funding to weimar.
i don't really understand the question. PdCon is organized by volunteers at a certain place; nobody choses to make it somewhere but the people who actually do make it. it was not like miller or hans or you stood up and said "hey let's make the pdcon in sao paolo"; it was sao paolo that volunteered to do it (and likewise for graz and montreal).
so if you want to do it in berlin, just volunteer to do it and then do it. (obviously you should sync yourself with other candidates, in order to avoid duplicate effort)
