Hi all, Unfortunately, I won’t be able to go, but I wanted to make sure we are aware and possibly able to participate.
However, I contacted them for more information, as some of the topics seem somewhat finished and some don’t. Here’s what I got in response: “The workshops will consist in a panel but there will be time for having a vivid discussion between all participants. Note that the workshops are targeted to specific policy areas. Not all lists of panelists are finalised and that is the reason why they are not yet published. In case you are interested in participating in a particular panel, feel free to communicate your interest and reasons and we will put through the information to the panel organizer.” So there still seems to be the possibility to participate in some of the panel discussions as panelists. But I think we should probably be as quickly as possible with sending them proposals. Chris From: Dirk-Willem van Gulik <di...@webweaving.org> Date: Tuesday, 25.

Not just that - but open source is becoming key to society; the the infrastructure of our economie, our society, and so on. Would be useful to prepare prior with those that intent to go. As these meetings are slowly moving from 'understanding' to 'how is, (and will) this industry regulate itself' to, if it is not, `what regulation would potentially work (to help shape society the way the EU generally sees society)'. Happy to help coordinate, With kind regards, Dw
