[okfn-discuss] Big News! OKFestival Extends Deadline for Session Proposals! New deadline: March 30, 2014.

Fri Mar 14 23:29:18 UTC 2014

Thanks, my weekend time appreciate. :) Now can send a better proposal.

Beatrice and team, I have a curiosity: is it possible for you share the
statistics of the percentage of submissions from the global south and from
the global north? Other statistics from the submissions would also be good,
if possible.

If, as expected, most submissions come from the global north, should OKF
put goals to improve that?

What do you think about that?
