>> Hi all,
>>
>> On Monday 16 September a workshop on the Open Data Census (
>> http://census.okfn.org/) will take place as part of the OKCon in Geneva.
>> Christian Villum (OKFN) and I will be hosting this workshop.

>> We are interested in hearing your ideas on how to best use our time

>> attend!
>>
>> For now we think we can three different angles during this workshop:
>> 1) improving an gathering data in the census
>> 2) do development work on the census, working through the existing list of
>> issues
>> 3) map out how to extend the Census in terms of countries, features, as
>> well as the types of data sets the Census tracks.

>> This may mean that we need to figure out how to move the goalposts over

>> This may mean adding sections that look at different groups of datasets.
>> The 10 we track now are sort-of the basics, the infrastructure. But if we
