2015 Private LOCKSS Networks Community Meeting

Registration

Registration is free, and open to all PLNs. As in previous years, we need to limit the number of people from each PLN to 2. If you haven’t already, please let Bronwen or Mark know if you would like to attend so we can budget for catering appropriately.

This year's meeting is immediately before the DLF Forum. Double up on these two events and save airfare!
