OpenTech update - Saturday 21st May - ULU, Malet Street, London May 15, 2011

Hey all

OpenTech is this coming Saturday, hope to see you there.

Mark Henderson has had to drop out due to the (unsurprising) needs of
his 3 week old daughter Anna. After a bit of a schedule shuffle, we have
the always interesting and entertaining Naomi McAuliffe from Amnesty
International talking about some of their projects. We also have the
team behind www.alpha.gov.uk around for a chat, and Jonathan Raper coming
along to move forward his thoughts on train data: http://ukuug.org/opentech

Please let any of your friends or lists know that you think may be interested.

The hashtag for the day and sessions is on the schedule page, and we're @opentechuk. If you're a twitter user and haven't seen lanyrd: http://lanyrd.com/2011/opentech/

Cheers
Sam
