I hope we can see each other in Warsaw! I didn't know you submited a
talk. I proposed yesterday a short talk with Pedro and Daniela about
how cicil society is influencing and participating on open government
data projects in Brazil, in the federal and municipal level. I'm
submiting it today. It'd be really nice to have you there!

Sure I'm interested, but I cannot afford to go there at the moment.
During the Brasília event, may I suggest the possibility of an online
meeting? (IRC or even skype, depending on the number of participants)

Hugs,

Tom
