Since there’s not an opentech blog, I’ll put this here:
What story would you tell about your experience of opentech?
Why did you go (or are going), or what did you get from it?
Post in a comment here, or elsewhere and the trackback should pick it up. Hopefully we’ll get enough for this to be useful…
If you could leave your 2 sentence note here before 15August, we’ll include some in an interview with www.OReillyGMT.eu about OpenTech.
If you read my blog, you’ll probably want to come:

and with plenty of time to talk in the bar after sessions which challenge,
inspire or talk about something that makes you want to help how you can. The

* Want to help out? *
OpenTech is organised by volunteers and we are now looking
for volunteers to help out on the day. In return for free
early entry and our eternal gratitude, we're in need of a
few people to show up a bit earlier and help us set the
venue up, and a few people to help with the audio recordings.
If you're interested, or have random other questions, email
us on opentech@ukuug.org
One thing we're doing this year is giving everyone related
to OpenTech the chance to post their projects on a page,
and say what help they need. Offline or on, whether you're
after tech people or just more helpers, you can ask the
OpenTech community to help out what matters to you:

Final programme may be subject to alteration. OpenTech is a
not for profit event open to everyone so please help spread
the word online and offline. Thanks for reading!
