[MyData & Open Data] Workshop on June 10 & 11

[Javier Ruiz]

The concept note is asking some questions the workshop should address, it would be great to get more input.  

But this is not about funding. OKFN and ORG both have funding to work on this.

We are starting to have an idea or ORG and OKFN ’s division of labour, but we haven’t fully conceptualised the role of the WG and the list and the meetings.  

just being honest :-)

In practice it is very unlikely that any attendees to such meeting will be stopped at the border or put in immediate danger. But I agree we should not be complacent or dismissive. A few tech activists linked in one way or another to Wikileaks and other projects cannot travel through the UK. This is no tinfoil hat stuff.

Apologies if it seems the wrong order, but some people need to book time early and we didn’t want to wait for every detail to be fixed before announcing it.
