Hi Judy, Many thanks for this. Its sounds like an interesting event - and the OKF would love to be an official 'partner'/co-organiser. I don't think we'd be able to come in person - but could participate in a virtual event.
Re: virtual attendees, I suspect IRC channel might be easier, as it has 'one click' access (via web browser), whereas I assume CCC Confer requires registration/login? What do you think? Personally I'd prefer later in the year - i.e. May rather than April - as I've got a lot going on in the next few months. What does anyone else think?
