[ddj] Tax Avoidance and Evasion Data Expedition

Sun May 26 09:42:40 UTC 2013

There's still time to put in one or more proposals on the topic to OKCon
(CFP deadline extended to Friday 31st)! It could be a really good fit for
either of the "Open data, government & governance" and "Evidence and
stories" topics.

The topics were set to create a themed event (OKCon 2013 is a more focussed
conference-style event, rather than the full-domain festival we had last
year with OKFestival), highlighting some specific aspects of the state of
open data in 2013. With some strong proposals, I'm sure tax avoidance and
evasion can be included as an important area, which I'd personally be
delighted to see.

Best regards,

Laura
