> Dear Graeme,
> 
> Thanks for your mail.
> 
> With BBC, we are organizing Hackdays in Glasgow - at the Science Center - on 1 & 2 May. 
> 
> A team from OKFN had taken part in our Hackdays in Barcelona and in Madrid. We were delighted about it and if possible we would like to have a team from your organization on board in Glasgow.
> 
> A team should include a journalist, a designer and up to three developers. They will be expected to build a working prototype of a news app or digital service during the event. The BBC will be offering some instructional material on News Labs technology prior to the event, but there is no mandatory preparation required
> 
> This Hackdays theme is‘The Future of News Curation’: How might we curate and connect our News Storytelling, in the age after “the stream”?
> 
> Please do not hesitate to contact me with any question.
