Re: Help Wanted for GUADEC

[Sanne te Meerman <sanne opensourceadvies nl>]

Hi Lorenzo,

I think I do mean that indeed :-). I've heard great things, 'through the 
grapevine', and have tried to get details, but apparantly not on the 
right mailinglist. Are you coming to GUADEC, or is anybody else from 
these projects coming to GUADEC? These are extremely interesting 
projects. Not only because a11y is 'sexy' theme for the government 
market, but also because these projects show a great strength of FLOSS, 
connecting with governments and societal organisations like ONCE to 
create software.

Could you provide me with connections, and would you be willing to speak 
during the pre-conference? I'm making a serious effort together with 
www.noiv.nl (the dutch Cenatic) to get the Dutch 'forerunners' from 
Holland to attent. It might even mean business opportunities for you.

Hope to hear from you soon,
best,
Sanne
