[OpenGLAM] [okfn-labs] Pybossa 101 Online Course

Wed Dec 5 17:51:02 UTC 2012

Hi Daniel,

I am forwarding this message to the School of Data lists as I suspect
there would be some interest there also.

As this is likely to be relatively popular - I would suggest that this
session is done on a first-come, first-served basis as a trial. If it
is successful and popular, we can experiment with formats and numbers
to repeat the session / do it with different topic groups?

Daniel - please set the numbers you can handle and if there is
overflow, we can perhaps schedule some further sessions in the future!

Lucy
