Dear all Orbital students:

We have been in talks with the InfoComm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) to have them over to talk about the data.gov.sg initiative.  They have also told us that they are in the midst of organizing some events that might be of interest to all of you.  You may want to consider joining in these two events happening next week (of course, please log your attending hours as part of your Orbital timesheet, as with everything else). Some of these events are happening at Blk 71 (again!).
