Hi Ralph,

Thanks for your reply, if you would like to propose a talk, workshop or
table at OSCAL next year I'm sure the team would love to hear from you.

While I understand not so many people have visited Tirana before, the
conference was one of the most well organized free software events I've
been to and the team are very dedicated.  In fact, they are already
organizing another event this weekend, an Open Data Hackathon, they are
unstoppable.

Regards,

Daniel
