[open-government] Join us! Open Government Data updates from around the world session @ OKFestival 2014

Sat Mar 15 15:02:18 UTC 2014

Hi all,

this is a proposal to organize a joint community session at this years OKFestival, 16th - 18th July, in Berlin.

Title: Open Government Data updates from around the world

Description: A session with short and snappy statements from pioneers, experts and activists from around the world on the state-of-play of Open Government Data from their countries. These updates will highlight stories of success and failure and reveal current issues and trends from the global open data community. This interactive session will be lead by an interviewer. Each participant will have 2 minutes and 1 slide. These updates will be followed by a short panel discussion with your all-star-cast of open data gurus who will comment on the updates and trends (10 min).

We have held the same format session both at OKFest 2012 and OKCon 0213, received a lot of positive feedback, so lets do it again :)

If you will be at OKFest in Berlin and have an interesting story to share, you are invited you to join:

If you are interested to be part of this, please and add your details until 30th March to the pad!

The session will be facilitated by Andrew Stott and Daniel Dietrich. We will select the ten most outstanding candidates aiming to draw a mosaic but comprehensive picture. Please note that we can only select 10 candidates form 10 countries, so be snappy with your description! Once we have selected 10 candidates we will follow up with them.

All the best
Daniel
