I could help with local organization and perhaps also
with accommodation for any events in Berlin.  That
said, I don't follow the OR circuit.  But Berlin also
hosts the three day LinuxTag (LinuxDay) each year.  It
comprises about 50% in English, 50% in German:

  http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinuxTag

The official website (first entry) morphs into a dual
language version nearer to the event.  In the meantime
try:

I could imagine that GLPK might get a good slot,
particularly if Andrew were able to present.  Does
Xypron have a view on this?
