Dear Lucy,

let me thank you once more for taking the time and meeting with me today!
It has been both very interesting as a discussion and very exciting as
food for thought and I hope that we can repeat it in the near future!
I think that Open Data and open Source meet in too many places, so I
am looking forward to the future.
Best of luck in your next stops and I am eagerly waiting for the results.

I hope we can keep in touch and I will do my best to become more
active in the OKFN.

Best,

Dimitris

P.S.: Many thanks to Despina, too, for the introductions! :)
