Hi Michelle, good to see you subscribing to the list!

I attended an Aarhus Data Drink a couple of months ago and can agree 
with that it's a great initiative. You might remember me asking about 
the events photos to be licensed with Creative Commons to promote 
openness! ;)

I am really glad that you wish to make the Nordic School of Data 
happen.  I'm at large supporting the idea in general, especially in 
running local webinars in the different countries physically and 
virtually at the same time if this is possible to arrange. I would 
gladly like to help out with that in Aarhus if that is something you see 
as an opportunity you could extend to this collaboration.

Best,
Mattias
