Dear all,

As you might know, we're busily preparing the schedule for this year's OKCon, which is going to be in Berlin on the 30th June and 1st July. 

We have had quite some people asking to extend the deadline for submission. So here is your chance: Submissions will be open until Mai, 9th at midnight.

http://okcon.org/2011/submit/

If you have something interesting but *really* can't make it to this deadline please contact us at okcon AT okfn.org - we might make an exception.

If you haven't already seen it you can check out the Call for Participation

       http://okcon.org/2011/cfp/

I'm also writing to say that we'd really like you (yes: you!) to come! Registration is open at:

All the best,
Daniel
