[ELECTRON] Fwd: Use of the Electron Club for an open source/data mapping workshop

[Simon Yuill]

Hi,

We have been asked if the space can be used for an open source/data
mapping workshop in July - see below.

I am assuming this would be OK with people and have penciled it in, but
any objections let me know.

I will let the organisers know that the Tuesday date is potentially a
clash with Camcorder Geurillas, and will pass their contact ontot he
people who are taking from me in may.

best wishes
Si

dear Electron Club,

I'm interested in using your space to host a hackday-style workshop on
map-based applications with open source and open data, either 7th or
19th July.

(I thought i wrote to you earlier this week but can't find the sent
mail, so perhaps i didn't...)

The workshop would be part of a series organised by JISC's DevCSI
initiative to support developers working in further and higher
education. So HE/FE would be the focus but others would be welcome too.
Imagining about 20 people - is your workshop space big enough for that?
(I was there a couple of months ago for the Scottish Linked Data Hackday).

JISC provides a budget so we can afford to pay pretty well for the use
of the Electron Club. I am not a member as I live in Edinburgh and wish
the Hacklab here was on the same scale...

Please let me know what you think of this,


jo
