[OKFN-NP] UNDESA/NIC OGD workshop NEW DATES!

[Daniel Dietrich]

Dear all,

I hope this mail finds you all well. The good news is: we have a new date for our joint workshop:

3-5 November, 2015

We expect the workshop agenda to remain similar to the original planning of our

Capacity Development Workshop on Open Government Data Sensitization, Gap Assessment and Strategic Planning

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wFaeqNJja_pE0J-VW9h4zO1B_lxz0tomKHwvLZ6R-NA/edit

The main change is section 2.3 on the 2nd day, which is now:

Showcase: Open Data Projects in Nepal - lessons learned
We thought it might be more interesting to open this slot for 5 short presentations (5min each) about actual projects that show different approaches, successes and failures and discuss lessens learned. Please also note that threader two 5 min slots open. Please suggest ideas for projects that could be showcased there.

We very much hope you are still available and interested to part of the workshop! Please review the agenda and confirm your availability as speaker or facilitator as indicated. Thank you very much for your kind collaboration. 

We will keep you updated over the coming days.

Kind regards
Daniel

As it seams likely that these bandhs will continue over the next weeks, UNDSS has advised to postpone the workshop.
