• Mayo Fuster (MF): On the 30th I will be attending the Open Knowledge Conference at Berlin (http://okcon.org/2011). I plan to attend the Rcom meeting, but needs to check hotel provides me a phone where to be called. I have an Spanish mobile phone, but it would be very expensive to recieve calls being outside Spain. I will have Internet access. In any case, I am trying to find a solution with Dana. --Lilaroja 11:27, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
