[Open-transport] Conferences on open transport?

Mon Nov 2 15:55:23 UTC 2015

Hi all,

Thank you for the enthusiasm! I have prepared a working document with a 
draft of the plan to organise this workshop as part of SOTM2016:

Reply to me in person if you'd be interested in co-organising this, or 
comment on the google drive document if you disagree with something. If 
not, you'll see the call for papers being sent out in January :)

Kind regards,

Pieter
