Hi Gene,

Thank you for your message.

Open Data Day isn't owned or run by any organization - it's a wonderful 
community organized and run endeavour! :)

The amazing David Eaves <https://twitter.com/daeaves> originally 
initiated it.

We at the Open Knowledge Foundation have participated since the first 
year and more recently we've helped David and others by providing some 
minimal coordination. In particular, as of last year, the Open Knowledge 
Foundation itself has taken on responsibility for hosting the site and 
wiki but that does not imply any special control there (of course anyone 
can submit pull requests etc ? and anyone is also welcome to help 
<http://blog.okfn.org/2013/12/12/planning-your-open-data-day-2014/>!).

Anyone can run an Open Data Day event and anyone can pitch in and help 
publicize here, on the Open Data Day mailing list 
<https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/open-data-day> or on the 
initiative's wiki <http://wiki.opendataday.org/Main_Page>(as soon as 
ready), run the website, code/ map/ design/ document/ blog and more.

Hope all this sounded so good that it inspired you to join the Open Data 
Day community :)

Best,
Beatrice

    One thing you can do on the front page of the wiki page is to list
    other organizations that sponsored events. One question I had was:
    is this something just okf does, or do other organizations get
    involved.  The blog listed an event last year from world bank, so
    list, on the front of the wiki page, Organizations that sponsored
    events in the past included World Bank, another organization,
    etc.... and link to the pages showing they were involved.

    Time to get ready!

    The Open Data Day wiki <http://wiki.opendataday.org/Main_Page> needs
    to be prepped and polished to rock the 2014 action plan. *We?re
    looking for stellar volunteers to help us*with this. Skills required:

      * knowledge of Wiki management
      * ability to work with WordPress
      * design skills
      * mapping skills

    Heather Leson
    <mailto:heather.leson at okfn.org?Subject=Open%20aData%20Day>. We?ll
    get this ready as soon as possible for everyone to add their Open
    Data Day events!
    *If you need some help planning your event*, please do connect on
    the OKFN ? Discuss mailing list
    <https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfn-discuss> or Open Data
    Day mailing list
    <https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/open-data-day>. Next week
    we will share some resources and planning help for local organizers.
    *Do you already have an Open Data Day event in the pipeline?* We
    created a chart for the map of global events. If you are hosting an
    event, add yourself to the 2014 map tracking doc.
