> I’d like to introduce myself to you. I'm Marieke Guy and I work for the Open Knowledge Foundation on the EU LinkedUp Project, "pushing forward the exploitation of the vast amounts of public, open data available on the Web, in particular by educational institutions and organizations". At the Open Knowledge Foundation there has been huge amounts of activity around government and economic data, and quite a bit around opening up GLAM objects. Open education is a relatively new area for us, but it aligns well with action around open development and sustainability.

> 
> As part of our work we have set up the Open Knowledge Foundation Open Education Working Group. The plan is bring together people working in different areas of open education: OERs, open data, policy, learning and teaching etc. to find overlaps.
> 
> 
> So for example, those working with OERs are pretty interested in MOOCs, and this potentially could be a key area of interest for open data enthusiasts - this could lead to joint activities. The plan isn't to replace any existing groups but to work with them.

> 
> The Working Group is only just getting off the ground and a key activity for me is building a community and getting know people working in this area, not just in the UK but in Europe and beyond. One of our first activities is the Open Education Handbook.
> 
> 
> Given that you have been carrying out some really exciting work relating to open education it would be fantastic to see you join our mailing list and be involved in some of the conversations we are starting to have.
> 
> 
> Look forward to working together in the future.
