Hi Jan,

I personally will not be able to make it to the conference you suggested
due to schoolwork (I have a compulsory course to take and a test the
next day)

If I'm well prepared for the test I might be able to get to the TechMAP
monday however.

I'm sorry for any confusion there, but I didn't meant whether you would
come to the techMAP or not. I asked whether I have to ask to the cabinet
of Geert Bourgeois if you're welcome at the Round Table.

Pieter

[ http://www.opengov2010.be/ ] The 15th and 16th of December Fedict (federal government) organizes this conference in Brussels, on the 14th Corve (Flemish government) does a pre-conference in Ghent, and on the 18th we have the i-Vlaanderen round-table (Flemish government, invite only) again. I could find no price info, so I assume the conferences are free? It will be a busy month!
