[CWN-Summit] Open Space Austin - Setting a new agenda for community ICT - April 29-30.

[Sascha Meinrath]

Hi all,

Thought this would interest folks -- should be an extremely interesting 
time and I'm hoping we'll be able to build on some of the themes that came 
up during the National Summit for Community Wireless Networks.

Hope to see you there,

--Sascha
