Re: Tech Talk at University of Antwerp

[Benoit Leseul]

Hi again,

I just got a more precise request, and they would like to organize
their event on Friday 25 April during the afternoon.
I definately won't be able to go there (I'm attending a l10n meetup in
Paris), so I would need assistance from someone else.

They say the target audience consists out of computer science students
(and most likely also PhD candidates and professors) who basically
don't know about FirefoxOS. So they would like to have a general
introduction followed by a more in depth technical talk on how the
platform works and what an application looks like

Is someone available to do that?

Many thanks!
