[ckan-discuss] call for papers

Mon Mar 25 10:29:05 GMT 2013

Hi CKAN team and supporters

The Libre software meeting will take place in Bruxels from the 6th to the 
11th of July and I think it would be great if someone from the OKFN team 
would be able to do a presentation about CKAN.
Other speakers can also propose a paper related to open data projects or 
open source tools.

You will find below the details

Call for papers
LSM is a non-commercial cycle of conferences, round tables and practical 
workshops based on Libre Software and its uses in an atmosphere that is 
convivial and noncommercial

Travel assistance for speakers
Transportation: speakers (or their partners) are normally to bear the cost 
of their transportation. However, in certain specific cases and within its 
budget, the LSM can reimburse some speakers. Note: Our budget being 
limited, the LSM will favor people with limited income and without 
alternative solutions. 
Accommodations: Lodging in Brussels is not included in your entrance fee. 
However we can suggest lodging options for all budgets, as has 
traditionally been done in past years. 

Best,
