A quick line to thank everyone involved in the organization of the Camp. We had a great time and have gone back to Spain full of ideas and with renewed energy. It is great to have met so many of you face to face. Be sure that in the coming weeks you will be hearing from us, the progress of our initiatives and, without a doubt, request for help and advice from those of you in countries further down the line re. OGD.
