[open-development] Location for an open development fringe event after OKFestival

Mon Mar 17 14:00:39 UTC 2014

Looks great to me.

I'm not sure we would fill all 190 places, though. At OKCon, the
post-conference open development day had only around 20-30 people, though I
expect we will get more this time. Maybe we could just go for the biggest
of the rooms, plus one other as a break-out space?

On the cost, are we looking for someone to volunteer to cover this? Or do
the conference organisers have any funds for such purposes?

Best wishes,
Ben
