Dear list,

In the OpenEconomics phone conference yesterday we decided to go
forward with building a cross-country Open Data Index (see previous
discussion at http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/open-economics/2011-July/000108.html).
We now need everyone to sign up to participate for a 1 day
collaborative index construction. On this day we will all try to
already finish a preliminary version to test the concept.

What day would be best for you? Please participate in this doodle to
determine it: http://www.doodle.com/6v8yfcqgnu8xavrx

Collaboration will be online with everyone contributing from wherever
you are based. We need people with different skill sets: data
researchers, programmers, economists, people generally knowledgeable
about sources of open data and people with aesthetics skills. So
please do participate!

A note on the timing: There will be people from various time zones
participating, so please try to accomodate the time window as good as
possible: It is just hard to match people across time zones so we all
need to be a bit flexible to make a collaborative production of the
OKF Open Data Index possible.

With best wishes,

Dirk
