[open-development] open-development Digest, Vol 55, Issue 11

Wed Feb 26 18:45:32 UTC 2014

Hi Claudia,
I personally like the idea of 'development day', stems from my development
background I think :-)

Not too central at the moment, but it would be interesting if there is
space for some discussions around surveillance (not limited to foreign
governments). I think I may have seen some OSF work around that?

Best,
Sally
