[euopendata] eurostat hackday

Paola,

this e-mail strikes me as just silly.
The way I read the description of the eurostathackday it was just an
all comers are welcome string of parallel local events. so no budget,
and no air travel involved.

i thought you'd recognize bottom up organizing when you see it.

not sure what your beef with the EC or the  OKF is but this mail reads
as concern trolling. as have some of your previous messages on this
list.
that probably means I should not have responded at all, but as one of
the people who started this list and wants to keep it useful, I
thought I'd better do come out and say it.

best,

Ton
