I'm Lyon France at the OpenIWorld Conference (a community orignated from the Melon funded OKI project, originally based out of MIT). Around a hundred and fifty delegats, of which at least half are French. Nice being at an event where it is small enough to get to know everyone, and plenty of French dining experiences for networking along and on the blue Rhone river. I'm here with two primary interests: first is the open source library system Koha, the second is my own presentation to the community and the contacts that it might bring out of the woodwork. Hopefully updates on both will follow.
