[okfn-be] Random Hacks of Kindness Hackathon in Belgium, 2/3 June 2012

Mon May 7 21:37:42 UTC 2012

Hi Pieter,

Great! Let's work this idea out.

I'll send you a private mail with my contact information and some ideas

Actually, in Belgium, it's the 2nd event, but 5 is a good target for us :)

Have a good night,
Tasha
