[okfn-discuss] OKFestival Topic Streams of 2012 and Last Call for Proposals

Mon May 21 12:54:16 UTC 2012

Hello Kevin,

I think that your topic would fit quite well into two different Topic
Streams, actually - either the one on Open Design, Hardware + Making or the
one on Open Visualisation - it's really up to you to decide which one fits
best. Both will have designers and artists of different kinds involved.

If I can do more to help, or if you'd like me to introduce you to the Guest
Programme Planners for these topics so you can talk to them further,
definitely let me know :)

Hope you're well!
