[Noisebridge-discuss] Transparency in Government Lecture

Mon Mar 1 23:32:03 UTC 2010

Oh man, this is a fantastic opportunity, and relates to some projects I'm
working on. Sadly, I can't make it, but other people should definitely go.
Do you know if it will be recorded? If not, can someone take notes? :)
