[open-development] Invitation to Open Knowledge Conference participants to 'Get Real' about open data

Tue Aug 20 07:41:39 UTC 2013

Hello Sarah,

This looks like a great session to hold.

I've added a quick note to the pad. Unfortunately I'm not going to make it
to OKCon, but it would be great to hear from the list who else will be
there...

All the best

Tim
