[okfn-discuss] Project Proposal: SPARQL Endpoint Satus

Wed May 22 14:17:30 UTC 2013

Hi Laura,

I would be pleased to explain the motivation for the project I submitted
(SPARQL Endpoints Monitoring) and discuss in which extent OKFN could
support the project. Let me know when you want to discuss (I'm available in
June).

Best Regards,
Pierre-Yves.

Pierre-Yves Vandenbussche.
