Open Source Finance: What would it look like? @ Open Data Institute, London, 11th October

Open Data Institute
65 Clifton St, Londra, Greater London EC2A 4JE, Regno Unito

Friday lunchtime lectures at the Open Data Institute.

You bring your lunch, we provide tea & coffee, an interesting talk, and enough time to get back to your desk.
