[Community DevRoom] Talk proposal - How the Italian Government is running its open source strategy

[Leslie Hawthorn]

Hi Riccardo,

I would love to hear your story, but as you say we are well past the cut
off for submissions. However, we are late on reviews so I am OK with you
submitting the talk. There are no guarantees that it will be accepted.
Thank you for contacting us and please do note that in the future we may
not choose to make a deadline exception.

Best,
LH
