[okfn-discuss] OKFestival Call for Proposals Open!

Wed Apr 4 14:23:42 UTC 2012

Kat,

hello there, hope you are well. I was wondering if you might be able to
help (again). I have the database from Landscape-Portrait (the project I
talked about recently) and I need to migrate it to an Open Platform, first
though it needs to be converted to a compatible format (LOD/RDF).
Does OKF ever invite  people, institutions etc to submit databases for OKF
hackdays etc, for whilst i am willing to do the conversion I am a little
bit
crap at it - could do with some guidance,

any thoughts you have much appreciated.

cheers

Kevin
