[okfn-coord] Fwd: [okfn-discuss] Ideas for OKCon 2010?

Tue Jul 14 19:17:14 UTC 2009

Just to add to this - Joseph has been pinging me regularly on Skype,
and asked me about this a little while back. I said I thought it was a
great idea and that he should write back to okfn-discuss. Hence I
think this was probably meant to go to the main discuss list, not just
Rufus! (I'll ping him now and see if he meant to go to list.)

He also mentioned they were hoping to have £10k to contribute to an
event - though I'm not exactly clear about where this is from or if
they have it yet.
