This coming Tuesday I'll be in Manchester, and, together with Sam
Smith, am organizing something of an OKFN open data day (see below).

If you're in the Manchester area and interested in any aspect of open
data or any specific Open Knowledge Project (http://okfn.org/projects)
please do come along either to the afternoon session or the bar
afterwards!

Rufus Pollock - University of Cambridge, Centre for Intellectual

There has been growing interest in many circles, and especially in
government regarding 'open data'. In this talk I explain what open is,
what's its attraction is, especially for public sector information,
from an economic and policy standpoint, and finally explain how
governments and others can adopt this new approach. -

you're interested
