Hi all,
I would not normally forward an open source conference CFP to this
list, but I think this case has particular merit. The linux.conf.au
2010 Call for Papers closes this Friday. LCA is a free software
technical conference, but one of the topics they are targeting this

Seems like a very useful service. Would the Foundation be interesting in taking
ownership of this URL? If so, would Blad be willing to give/sell it to them? If

Forget direct funding, its not practical. The interesting thing is, we
do have "sales organization" that is very important for
GLAM-institutions, and it is probably so interesting that a conflict
