Re: Solid Community invitation to Rebooting Web of Trust 9 (Prague)

Hi External Interop and Outreach Panel <https://github.com/solid/culture/blob/master/panels.md#external-interop-and-outreach-panel>, 

Thank you Dmitri for sharing the information on Rebooting the Web of Trust. 

Last years event was really fantastic. It’s  a great place to concentrate on building ideas through face to face conversation, I can really recommend it.

And so I feel that any of you that can make it would fit right in, be able to bring a unique perspective to the conversation, and in general it would be worth your while.

The conference even provides a significant discount for tickets if you submit a paper proposal before the conference, see the EventBrite page for details:
