[euopendata] [od-discuss] [open-government] [Open-data-census] EU Consultation on gov data re-use.

Tue Nov 12 03:06:48 UTC 2013

FWIW the questionnaire, direct link at
http://ec.europa.eu/yourvoice/ipm/forms/dispatch?form=PSIguidelines
takes IIRC less than 10 minutes, and some parts are directly relevant
to the Open Definition (eg non-commercial only restrictions
unacceptable).

Open Definition list people, worth filling out if you have time.
