I learned about you in the open forum discussion by Klaus Stol. I like very much your contribution and your way of thinking.

Your are involved partly in the field of public open data and may be interested in local public database projects. This was over 15 years one of my business concerns as a soicial entrepreneur. I was supporting local business with important public data project, wherein the database belonged to the privat sector (my firm).

And I have a forthcoming project proposal setting up a media server for an approved micro "cinema scheme" for the sake of improving village culture in Germany as well as other countries.

As you are heading to the ePSIplatform Conference in March I anticipate your interests in this direction.

Would you mind that I give you some more details?
