Dear all,

we are working on organising the Open Knowledge Conference 2011. This year OKCon will take place on 30th June & 1st July in Berlin. This is the first time the OKCon takes place outside UK and this might be the beginning of the OKCon to become more and more a truly international conference that takes place in cities all over the world - really *exciting*.
