[Open-transport] Conferences on open transport?

[Pieter Colpaert]

Hi Rufus,

Oh! Didn't know OKFestival 2016 was going to take place. Great news!

I think it's an interesting idea to organise a less technical session at 
OKFestival 2016, and a session focused on the technicalities behind 
public transit route planning at SOTM2016.

Would you happen to know when we'll get more details about OKFestival 2016?

Kind regards,

Pieter
