Hi Steven,

I'm definitely planning to be in Madrid for IODC and would be very happy if
there would be yet another opportunity to meet others from the CKAN
community.
I would be willing to share my experiences from the different projects I
did in Switzerland as a talk or workshop or whatever (I could talk about
WordPress <-> CKAN integration, DCAT-AP metadata, multi-stakeholder
projects, how to facilitate the "Open Data community" etc.).

Last year the event was just too far away to join. But this year when it's
almost around the corner, I don't want to miss it.

- Stefan
