[open-government] Open Legislative Data Conference in Paris - July 6-7

Thu Jan 26 14:02:00 UTC 2012

Pedro, hello!
Yes, of course! We are in contact with a lot of civic technologists/hackers
in Argentina as well as in other countries. Maybe we can arrange a Skype
and talk.
Let's spare everyone else with the details and arrange in a private email!
