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

[Laura James]

Hi Tom,

I think we all agree we want great proposals from everywhere!  If you have
ideas as to how we can increase the number of proposals from anyone or
anywhere, we'd love to hear them :)  Are there other places we should share
the call for proposals, are there key people who could pass on the call for
proposals to their networks?

Best regards,

Laura
