This latter makes a lot of sense to me. This year's FOSS4G conference will have an "academic track" for the first time and the community response to that has been really good; and a lot of those contributors come with in-house travel expenses. I would be very happy to jump on a programme committee. I can think of a couple of EDINA colleagues working in open access education who would likely be interested as well. There are some open source platforms for marshalling contributions that could reduce the admin load... cheers, jo -- _______________________________________________ okfn-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.okfn.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/okfn-discuss
