[Yourtopia] Another possible venue for Yourtopia Italy

Sat May 12 13:17:05 BST 2012

I think it would be amazing if you could organise this, Giacomo.

Fitoussi's work was a prime motivation for us. So it would be great to
present our work at a conference that he attends.

Furthermore, this might be a good chance to let Istat know about us,
wouldn't it? I have been keen to find out some way how we can get in touch
with the initiatives mentioned on
http://www.wikiprogress.org/index.php/Italy. Might this conference be that
opportunity?

Thanks a lot for your suggestion!

Dirk
