[ok-ox-discuss] Starting Open Knowledge Oxford...

[Nate Olson]

Agreed that an event on 'open archaeology' is well worth a go. Also  
interested to learn what Iain hears from Jonathan Zittrain.

As to a casual get-together in May, I'm definitely unavailable on the  
23rd/24th (Fri/Sat). I might be away for another 2-3 days at some  
point doing research, but that's a rather distant prospect.

Joseph, I didn't know you were at the Geek Night! I swung by for a  
few minutes to meet Janet McKnight and to say hello to J-P. (Also met  
a nice guy named Owen--last name eludes me--who was at OKCon in  
London, but I hadn't chatted with him there. Anyone else know him?)  
Sorry I missed you.

Mentioned OKF-Oxford to Jon Hicks (<http://hicksdesign.co.uk/>) while  
stopping through the Geek Night. Would be wonderful if we could snag  
some of his time before too long (either as a 'member' of the group  
or at an event featuring him), but he's in high demand. We'll see.

Take care, all,
Nate
