[euopendata] SharePSI Workshop summary, maps of barriers and solutions to open data

Thu May 19 23:26:32 UTC 2011

Hey Ton!

These are excellent news: over 640 solutions for just under a hundred barriers!

One thing gets more and more clear: We can do it!

But serious: thank you very much for sharing this with us.

Best 
Daniel

Doing things here and now, but with the horizon in mind, you could say. Also because smaller, nearer things help build the case for larger, longer things. "Nobody knows what this is about yet" sums it all up quite nicely (and I mean that in a positive way)
