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

Tue Aug 20 13:35:47 UTC 2013

Dear all,

I am visiting OKCon. In fact, we are organising the Downscale 2013 workshop
at exactly the same timeslot on the 19th (
http://worldwidesemanticweb.org/events/downscale2013/).  This workshop is
concerned with linked open data and semantic technology for development, so
it is unfortunate that these two sessions overlap.

Hope to see you all at the main conference though!

best,
--Victor
