[MyData & Open Data] OKFestival CfP Deadline Extension

Fri Mar 14 15:06:40 UTC 2014

Hi all!

Hopefully, this news would not slow your momentum in finishing up those
amazing proposals for OKFestival 2014, but the
Festival<http://2014.okfestival.org/> Team
has graciously extended the deadline for submissions. You now have until *March
30* to send your session proposals through!

Below is the message from the festival team:

As you already know, this year's OKFestival Call for
Proposals<http://2014.okfestival.org/programme/propose-a-session/> was
due to end on Sunday and our spreadsheets have been filling up with dozens
of amazing session ideas. We've had lots of questions from you about your
proposals, answered heaps of Twitter
<https://twitter.com/OKFestival>messages asking for hints about the
best
way to design a workshop<http://2014.okfestival.org/programme/session-tips/>,
and hosted live
hangouts<http://2014.okfestival.org/tips-tricks-second-helpout-going-live-now/>with
you to talk about how you can collaborate with each other.

So, excited by your enthusiasm and fueled by your contagious energy, we
have decided to extend the deadline for this year's proposals. We want to
hear from you! And we've even created a special mailing
list<https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfestival-discuss>so
that you can get in touch easily with one another to collaborate on
proposals.

New deadline: March 30. And this time we're serious!
Keep sending <http://2014.okfestival.org/programme/propose-a-session/> your
brilliant, groundbreaking, collaborative proposals. We're looking forward
to reviewing them all!

Best,
--
