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

2013 edition
Brussels is a multilingual city, so three languages will be used during 
talks: English, French, and Dutch. English will be encouraged for 
technical talks. 
Talks and workshops will be run in concurrent sessions. For this 14th 
edition, there will be nine main topics, some of which encompass several 
subtopics: 
Open data 
Free mapping with OpenStreetMap 
Citizen participation and data reuse 

For your convenience our programme matrix has four main cross-cutting 
issues that may transcend themes: 
Everyday Freedom 
Societal issues 
Open data 
Cloud

Public

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,
