[Open-data-census] Census - let's get the world's attention!

Tue Jun 11 13:49:02 BST 2013

Hello Zara,

exciting news!

I'd like to have the early copy, but have a few questions. Will the press
release be focused on G8 countries performance or the Census in general?
And is it possible to rework the text a little and issue it as a release of
OKN-CZ and Otakar Motejl Fund with OKF as an original source? If we want to
get coverage in Czech media, it is important to adjust the translation to
our environment and emphasise topics that have been covered previously (OGP,
first Czech open data challenge etc.).

Long live open data buzz!

> have capacity and wish to) you can translate it ready for international
> release, on Thursday June 13, or simply send it out to media in your

>  Our aim is to create as much of an international buzz around this as
