[OKFN-CH] Fwd: REGISTER BY NOVEMBER 2nd– Canadian Open Data Summit 2018, Nov 7-9, Niagara Falls

Wed Oct 24 16:28:18 UTC 2018

The Canadian government and OK chapter are very keen on supporting
exchanges and knowledge shares with other countries -- being #1 ranked on
the Open Data Barometer this year may well have something to do with this.

Anyone already following or interested in joining events like this across
the Atlantic, or even if you are just curious to know what connects our
communities - please let me know!

Cheers,
Oleg
