[ckan-discuss] Big push on datacatalogs.org

[John Erickson]

The RPI team will help any way we can.

You should know that we are in the final planning stages for our
Elsevier/Tetherless World Health and Life Sciences Hackathon (27-28
June) <http://bit.ly/iigLrv> and this catalog work will be competing
for our attention ;)
