Hi, I'm in Vienna after my vacation.  I ask for our help to prepare for
our London meetings (COMMUNIA, Worknets, Open Knowledge Foundation,
Oekonux)
http://www.worknets.org/wiki.cgi?London

I share my chat below with Sasha Mrkailo.  This New Year's I visited him
and his family in Sombor, Serbia.  We met the owner of their favorite cafe
Cafe Des Arts and through him a fashion designer, Ana.  Sasha's wife
Zdenka is also designs her own fashions.  They are excited to create
Public Domain Fashion including a blanket called "Baby Twister" (It would
be good to think of an orginal name, how does the baby play with it? maybe
it's a Baby Wrapper? Roller? Bender? Tumbler?)  We decided we'll ask
Prodromos Tsiavos to provide invitations for Ana and Zdenka, I need their
passport information.

And Sasha is interested that we do a video bridge with Sombor, Serbia from
London.  Zenonas Anusauskas will be excited to do that.  And I would like
to do video bridges with Edward Cherlin in Silicon Valley, with Kennedy
Owino in Nairobi, and with our team in Lithuania.  Are you interested?
What might we do?

I also want to invite Fred Kayiwa (Uganda) and Peter Ongele (Kenya) and
hopefully they can come.  I need to call them first and see if it would
make sense.  Then I need your passport information (Fred I have yours
already, yes?).  I would also like to contact Rachel Wambui Kungu and see
if she might come.

I want also to call Tom Wayburn, Graham Knight, Marcin Jakubowski, Claudia
Czerkauer and others who might participate.  Claudia, what is your phone
number?
