[open-linguistics] Short Presentation Proposal + Request

Fri Jun 10 13:38:12 UTC 2011

An update: My main talk was accepted, which means I am officially coming to
OKF2011. I'm still working on that post for the Open Linguistics blog.

Would I be able to give a second talk at the Open Linguistics workgroup,
targeting the possibility of application of (open) workflows to
linguistics?

Cheers,
Richard
