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

[Ben Taylor]

I don't know about anyone else, but I think Katelyn's idea sounds great. We
can use the OKFN funds (for which I don't think we have any other purpose
in mind).

If others also support the idea, I suggest that Claudia should go ahead and
confirm the Wikimedia space for Thursday 18 July. We can firm up what
exactly we use the day for between now and July, or even at the conference
itself as themes and loose ends emerge.

But I would love to hear others' thoughts as well.

Best wishes,
Ben
