[ogdcamp] 14 weeks left until Open Government Data Camp 2011!

Thu Jul 14 00:52:54 UTC 2011

Great update Jonathan. One very minor thing:

Can we get the dates for this event up on
<http://opengovernmentdata.org/camp2011/>

Also think an eventbrite page with signup should be on our roadmap for
next week (I've been telling lots of people here in Washington at Open
Gov Partnership event about it ...)
