Fri Nov 11 15:28:38 UTC 2011

Hi Kevin,

It seems an exciting event. I am just forwarding your email to the open development list, I think people might be interested.
Are you thinking of including some challenges related with IATI?

Best,

Well this year we've decided to focus on RHoK, but of course, any Open Data heads are welcome to come use the facilities.
