[ogdcamp] PSI Alliance presence at OGD Camp

[Federico Morando]

Hi all,

I would like to support Tim's idea (the first option "a conversation 
between the existing information industry and  'open data people', to 
explore what we can learn from each other"). In fact, the perspective of 
PSI Alliance is not always and not exactly an open data one, but this is 
an additional reason to interact with them as much as possible.

My two cents,

Federico
