[OpenDesign] Open Design Definition: let's start the collaboration! :)

[Dr. Peter Troxler]

Hi all

this is Peter from Fab* in Manchester.  I assume that we will have WiFi at the workshop on Saturday, and I will set up a meetingburner event (still looking for a simple and reliable Open Source webconferencing service) for remote participation.

We'll post exact timings and access information to the mailing list

If you cannot attend it, don’t worry: the most important part of the process is the online discussion, the local workshops are very useful for speeding up the process and help people jump in the Github platform, but we want to have as many participants as possible with the online discussion!
