[okfn-be] Introducing myself + Open Data Hackathon in Brussels

Fri Oct 28 04:22:56 UTC 2011

Martin,

woensdag 9 november van 19u tot 21u organiseren we een kick-off meeting voor
Apps for Leuven. Deze kick-off meeting is in eerste instantie een
network-event om de geïnteresseerden beter te leren kennen, er zal een
eerste takenverdeling gebeuren voor het event maar daarnaast zullen we ook
een brainstorm-sessie hebben over de algemene principes voor het organiseren
van een Apps for 'X' event.

Binnen OKFN willen we een werkgroep oprichten die zich bezig houdt met de
ondersteuning van Apps for 'X' events door hosting, marketing materiaal,
tools, connecties, sponsors ter beschikking te stellen en een event roadmap
uit te werken zodat een geïnteresseerde organisator snel op weg kan geholpen
worden om z'n event te organiseren.

Ik denk dat het interessant voor jou kan zijn als je naar de kick-off
meeting van Apps for Leuven komt.

Normaal stuur ik begin volgende week de juiste meetingplaats nog door.

Mvg,

Lieven
