[okfn-discuss] OKFN meetups in San Francisco and Boston

Fri Sep 21 09:19:51 UTC 2012

Ace!

Might also be worth compiling a list of orgs, groups, associations and just well-connected, switched-on people who we could contact about meet ups specifically. These could be broader than open data groups: tech meet ups, big-data groups, civic hacking folk… They might be able to introduce OKFN with their communities too.

Apologies if I'm being redundant.
