Re: Doc Sprint Amsterdam

Thanks for the responses.
Is someone willing to write a blog post on blog.webplatform.org? The
blogpost on the Fronteers website will be online tomorrow.

I'm aslo working on an Eventbrite page and I've basically copied Jay's
version for Berlin and altered a few things.

Can someone please check if this is correct? Thanks!
