Hi Jesus, Do please post this kind of call to this space; you're 100% correct that this community would be interested in that work.
I'd spin up something for that venue, but I know I won't be able to swing Hong Kong this summer. Who was it who recently announced that they wanted to be *the* venue for tracking open conferences? opensource.com? They should track OpenSym/WikiSym as well. I'll forward this on to the os.com team, unless they're lurking here. Cheers, Matt On Fri, Feb 8, 2013 at 3:15 AM, Jesus M.
