[okfn-coord] Putting in a submission to iCommons Summit 2008

Tue Apr 15 14:06:34 UTC 2008

Hi Rufus,

Saw this and putting something together for it is on my todo list  
this week.  Definitely want to submit something on open data and  
licensing, and would be pleased to do it as ODC/OKF.  Do we want to  
put something in together?

I have a possible way of funding the trip independent of getting an  
iSummit scholarship, and so am hoping to be there regardless of  
whether I get one this year (got one last year, will apply this year).

Jonathan or Rufus, were you both thinking about going?  Should we do  
a single proposal?

Thanks!

~Jordan
