[open-economics] Yourtopia Italia - Submission deadline postponed to April 30

Tue Jan 31 17:20:08 UTC 2012

Dear team,

@Dirk, thanks a lot for this text!

I would also like to thank all who joined us physically and virtually on
the Hackday last Saturday! It was great meeting you all and working
together with you - it would be cool as Frederica tweeted - to have an Open
Economics Hackday every week. I hope that we will at least manage to have
one every month.

Please have a look at the photos Kat and Ilias made on Saturday:

and look out for a post about the event on the OKFN blog site very soon.

I have some hot news, which just arrived today - *The deadline of the
Apps4Italy is now postponed to April 30.*

This would give us a bit more time to finalise our Yourtopia 2 application,
yet it would be great if we would do this as soon as possible as new
exciting projects are coming up. Besides, we should use the Hackday
momentum!
