Invitation to workshop

Dear Federated Social Web community members

We are contacting you on behalf of the P2Pvalue European research project,
which is organising a workshop on Free/Open Source Distributed Platforms
for Peer Production, to be held on December 9-10, 2013, in Madrid. We would
like to invite you to join us at this small event, in order to discuss
FLOSS software platforms and find points of collaboration. Researchers from
the CAPS European research
projects<http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/caps-projects>will
participate, together with several FLOSS communities which are engaged
in related topics. This may be an opportunity for FLOSS communities to show
the advantages of their software and to engage in fruitful discussions with
researchers and other developers.

We plan to have talks, tutorials and round tables for discussion. At this
stage, we are very open to proposals for sessions, talks, tutorials and
topics of this 2-days workshop, so please feel free to send us your
suggestions.

We would highly appreciate if you could confirm your assistance to this
workshop soon, and an approximate number of the people attending, for
logistic purposes. We will send further information later on, but in case
you need to ask any doubts now, please do not hesitate to reply to this
email.
