[Sotm-asia] Where will it be?

Thu Aug 29 07:20:10 UTC 2013

Hi Alex,

I was just saying that I think it makes sense for the community in
Indonesia to get together this year, but maybe we can plan for a bigger
Asia-wide event next year. Having a full year for planning would make
things easier for many types of sponsors.

Best,

-Kate
