[open-government] Personal Democracy Forum Europe 2010 - focus on open data

Mon Aug 2 13:01:42 UTC 2010

I'd definitely be up for speaking, and would be good to get a few OKFN assoc people to attend, but am going away first thing tomorrow (and will only have patchy email). Rufus/Jonothan: have you had any contact with organisers?

The prices of tickets are a surprisingly reasonable €195 for the two days for advanced bookings.
