Will there be travel bursaries for people from across the pond?
Yes, there will. We’re just finalizing them.
Hi guys,
Where can I find more information about the satellite events? While Warsaw is not too far away for me, it’s interesting how these are planned to be organised.
Hi there!
You’ll be able to check out the satellite events at http://ogdcamp.org/satellite/ just as soon as they’re confirmed :-) Hope to see you there!
