[euopendata] Fwd: Re: ICT 2010 Networking Session on Governmental Linked Data

[Sören Auer]

Dear all,

We inquired regarding the raised questions with Marta (cf. attached 
email). In essence she says, we should rather focus on networking than 
outreach:

Soeren: Do you think there will also be EU (and member state) decision 
makers in the audience. If so, I think this would increase the value of 
having high-level representatives on board. If not, we might focus more 
during the session on networking between existing national initiatives 
and organize events focusing towards outreach separately.

Marta: There will be EU and some Member States decision makers, but 
their agenda will be restricted for sure. Furthermore you wil have the 
time concern of 90 minutes. This, I think, would be not enogh to address 
national initiatives and outreach at the same time. The session will 
also not be at plenary level, what would more attract high level 
speakers like TBL. My advice is to focus on networking between the 
existing initiatives and have a separated and focused high level event.

So this gives us a clearer picture what to focus on. The dates are not 
yet fixed, but they will us know as soon as this is known.

Best,

Sören
