[open-archaeology] chances for meeting in the real-world (Athens, London)

[Joseph Reeves]

Hi Steko,

The London dates sound good - are you thinking about the 11th now?

I'd be interested in talking about Open Archaeology data mashups -
with a bit of luck we'll soon be making available a lot of data that
others can take and do new and exciting things with.

Best, Joseph
