Unfortunately I'm not going (though perhaps I should be -- though
tickets look rather expensive ...).

It looks interesting and a lot of our OKF work looks relevant: e.g.
"Where Does My Money Go" re. participatory budgeting, the idea for
media monitoring that we discussed re. the Knight Foundation grant,
important of openness (opendefinition.org) especially for government
data (and content) etc.

Great.

I'll draft something to okfn-discuss outlining the background --
though I may not do this before next week now!
