[ok-edinburgh] capacity of OK Scotland event

Mon Apr 26 15:17:19 UTC 2010

Hi Rob

thanks for the update
possible suggestions

1. break down the meeting into 2-3 smaller topic areas and spread around
different dates, perhaps?
2. allow remote participation?
3. keep the  talks really short and link to a website where people can link
their stuff

I also wanted to ask, how can participants engage with OKF and Edina with
related projects and research, where relevant?

Thanks!
