[Open-data-census] Open Data Census workshop today @ OKCon - practical details

Mon Sep 16 17:05:03 BST 2013

Dear all,

Apologies for the wifi-situation that prevented us from hosting the Google
Hangout at the Open Data Census workshop today @ OKCon. As it turned out,
the corner of the venue where the workshop took place had really bad wifi
once neighboring rooms filled up and started connecting (as opposed to when
we tested the room earlier), and after 15 minutes of attempts we had to
cancel the idea of running the Hangout :/ Very unfortunate for all of you
who meant to join - we apologize (and will of course make a note to the
venue organizers for future reference).

The session was videotaped and will be made available shortly, so if you
have the time that will be an opportunity to tap into the conversations.
We'll also do a blog post and other materials to document the ideas that
were discussed.

Don't forget to join us in the other available channels! - see
okcon.org/live for an overview or join the conversation on Twitter using
the #OKCon tag.

Looking forward to hopefully see you there!

-Christian
