Neat idea. For that matter, I will be Sydney from Jul 29-Aug 7, and then in New Delhi Aug 19-21. Am always on the look out for native supporters of open knowledge about espresso and beer. Can you put me in touch with anyone there I can talk to?

An off-topic appreciation: it takes a lot of effort and time to build a community. It is really heartening to see the effort that you, and others at OKFN, are putting in toward this deep belief of openness. Thanks for your perseverance.
