[open-government] International Hackhaton - Communications and GTD

Tue Nov 9 22:20:15 UTC 2010

Hi, David and all!

I just confirmed I will be at the OGD Camp in London (I'll get there on the
19th, as I am at the Transparency Camp in Warsaw the day before – will be
happy to speak of our Hackathon there too).

Count on me to participate on the session. It will be great to meet some of
you there :)
