[euopendata] Open Data Manual + Open Data Hunt events...

Wed May 12 09:14:27 UTC 2010

Hi Jonathan,

great idea. I like this. 

We should prepare a local data hunt event for our first regular monthly "everything open" meeting here in Berlin on 3rd June.

We should also drop a note to these two lists

Opendata Network <opendata-network at lists.metasync.org>
OKFN Deutschland <okfn-de at lists.okfn.org> 

to get people involved in the preparation.

Kind regards
Daniel
