There are definitely a ton of localized issues and a ton of talented developers around Europe (our best Android wallets and wallet hardware seem to come from there  Grin).

Yes, as it happens Andreas Schildbach, the developer of Android Wallet for Android, is based here in Berlin and indeed is a core member of Joerg's Crypto Economics Consulting Group who help (free of charge!) businesses in Berlin get started accepting bitcoin payments.

That's the Bitcoinkiez project (German for "Bitcoin Hood"), the Berlin neighborhood that has the highest density of Bitcoin-accepting businesses in the world. A highly successful model that ought to be emulated anywhere and everywhere around the world, and the Foundation could conceivably provide some of the auspices for that.
