[Open-transport] Public Transport at OKCon

[Pieter Colpaert]

Hi all,

Hereby an extra nudge for you all to go to the OKCon. If we have enough 
people present in Geneva, it would be great to do an unofficial 
vocabulary discussion and hackathon on stations.io (a knowledge base for 
stop identifiers).

Who is coming?

Kind regards,

Pieter
