I assume some people may have seen the blog post [1] but for those who
haven't Open Tech 2008 takes place this Saturday. There are two OKFN
talks one given by myself on 'Opening Data' and one by Jonathan Gray
specifically on CKAN.

This is a great event with lots of open knowledge stuff going on so do
come along. It's also a great opportunity for OKFNers to meet up in
person -- we'll probably try to organize a 1/2 hr OKFN meeting in the
'break-out' room some time in the afternoon.

Hope to see people there.

PS: you do need to register (see announce below)

PPS: if you're travelling from the Cambridge area let me know off-list
as we can likely coordinate
