Tell me about it- I've just spent the week getting over 500,000 rows of tender data onto a shared server in bits and pieces over a very slow internet connection.

Sorry for the delay!
The video appears to be stuck at 95% processed :( I'll try loading it up again, which will take another eight hours...

Sorry about that.
I'm trying to get the video up now... give me a little longer and then everyone can get the same intro as those at IODC ;)
The plan is:Get the video up
Email this list to share the idea
Discuss on this list to see if folks likle it, have questions, would be happy to help curate, etc
Do a general blog post on au.oklfn.org about it
Promote the idea throughout the OK network globally and receive more input.
Lastly to then curate, edit and publish (probably as a resource within the open data handbook)

Cheers,

I might have launched an international effort led by okfnau today ;)
I will update folks but it is nothing major. I could have done it as a Link Digital initiative but really wanted to push AU and OK this week.
Hope that is ok and hope people will help ;)
It should be cool. I have a video of it all that I'll publish on YouTube next week. That will explain things :)
On a gold plated side note I've done everything to promote the AU this week. I honestly think if no one was here we would have looked totally crap. The IODC was a significant opportunity to update the global community on which countries are 'in the movement'. Zero representation would have made us look totally lame.
We can't afford to miss such opportunities in the future so I will be trying to work out how okau can sponsor key people to attend the next one. That will be October 2016 so we have time to work it all out :)
But, it's a sigh of relief. We all know locally that AU is awesome and totally 'in the movement'. I think we've done ok this time. 
The event I hosted had around 80 attendees. The CKANcon I spoke at also had around 80. In total the event had around 2000 folks. I had great meetings with lots of awesome people and hardly attended sessions (that happens). 
There are opportunities for Australia and after I return I need to speak with a few groups before then socializing whether these opportunities are things the okau folks would agree to support.
It is really awesome stuff so I expect people will love it :)
Hoots!
