[okfn-discuss] Call for Timeline Submissions: The Open Book

[Kat Braybrooke]

Hello Victor,

At the moment, we've booted up the timeline into a Timeliner-ready
spreadsheet - as you can see, we have very little so far!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgKCQJHmtLY_dHh5V3E0M3I5UkhMTzZqcDBYV3dnYUE#gid=0

Would be great if you can add things when you get a moment (and please feel
free to put your name in last column if you want attribution!)

Thank you! Kat

>>  Hello,
>>
>> The Finnish Institute in London and the Open Knowledge Foundation are
>> publishing a book, and we want you to be a part of its history. The Open
>> Book (publish date 2013, details here <http://bit.ly/UK1A72>) is a
>> crowd-sourced publication which will contextualise the international open
>> knowledge movement in the words of those who are helping build it today.
>> This book, based on the ideas of more than 1,000 participants from over 50
>> nations who came together in to attend the world’s first Open Knowledge
>> Festival <http://okfestival.org> in Helsinki, will highlight the hopes
>> and motivations of those currently working to promote global change, and
>> introduce the movement to new audiences.
>>
>> The book will begin with a pull-out concertina - a visual timeline
>> introducing the most important events in the history of open knowledge and
>> open data. As a open knowledge advocate, we would like to invite you to
>> help build this crowd-sourced timeline with us. We will also publish it
>> online using the Open Knowledge Foundation's Recline Timeliner <
>> http://timeliner.reclinejs.com/> based off Timeline.JS <
>> http://timeline.verite.co/> so that it can be a living document which
>> chronicles the legacy of open knowledge and open data movements over time.
>>
>> To get involved, send us one to five key events, inventions or decisions
>> that in your opinion have contributed the most to the evolution of open
>> knowledge, and send these ideas to  openbook at okfestival.org. Your
>> submission can be very informal. We want to hear about the moments you have
>> found the most inspiring.
>>
>> If you wish to be attributed in the text for your contribution, please
>> provide your full name. We also appreciate timeline contributions that
>> include a photo and location where possible. The publishing deadline for
>> contributions is January 13.
>>
>> We look forward to your submissions!
>>
>> Sincerely,
>> The Open Book Editorial Team
