2. PLANNING AMERICAS TOUR: NEED YOUR NETWORKING ASSISTANCE

Our Americas tour is taking shape: we're booked to speak at Digital 
Hollywood Fall, LA with other events in the pipeline. We need your help in 
finding the best contacts to hook up with. Set up face to face meetings 
with: movers and shakers to discuss Kendra's vision of an open and 
interoperable digital media marketplace: organisations and individuals that 
may potentially fund this not for profit and open architecture project.
