[open-development] Open Development Side Event in Berlin on the 18th July

Mon Jun 16 06:26:29 UTC 2014

Hi all!
Thanks Duncan and Katelyn! It looks like Tues at 15 hrs Berlin time is the
most conveniant time for a call to discuss the OKfest fringe event. I just
added Duncan's suggestions to the pad. Should we use Hangout ? (My
experience is it works better than skype). Katelyn will you get us started?

Looking forward to speak to you!
Claudia

> Regarding other areas of open knowledge, I know that the open science and

> Only one month till the festival, I am looking forward to seeing everyone
