[okfn-discuss] OKFestival Topic Streams of 2012 and Last Call for Proposals

Thu May 17 08:40:01 UTC 2012

Kat,

cheers for this  -  i have to say i think it is a shame not to have a
stream on artists creating and working with open data, i obviously think
its really important, the cultural heritage stream is, I am guessing is
more about accessibility to existing archives, whereas the initial proposal
I submitted (http://okfestival.okfnpad.org/helsinki?) constituted a
critical approach to  open data, including its ideology, production,
dissemination and the demography of its users - can't really see how this
fits with any of the stream though ?

Be interested on your thoughts,

Cheers

Kevin
