[open-linguistics] Short Presentation Proposal + Request

Sun Jun 12 10:44:25 UTC 2011

10 minutes sounds pretty good to me. Enough to give a brief overview of what
I'm doing, go over the work being done on this right now in linguistics, and
then where we could possibly go. It is complementary, not necessarily
directly related (yet!).

Richard
