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

Tue Mar 18 11:27:26 UTC 2014

Hi all
Thanks for the feedback so far and for the great news from Katelyn: I think
using the funds for this purpose sounds like a very good idea.

As for Sarah's question about technical options.
They have W-Lan VDSL 50 (50 MBit/s Downstream and 10 MBit/s Upstream). I
had to fill out a questionnaire to reserve the room and remember there were
questions about beamers etc. So I don't think it is a problem at all!

*Please shout now* if you are against using the okf open dev group money
for the room. If I don't hear objections I will book it on friday!

Cheers
Claudia
