[open-development] OKFest: Open Development stream next steps

Fri Apr 27 13:43:13 UTC 2012

Hi Sarah,

I'm keen to explore theme five 'Open development and economics'. Is it part
of the stream?

Thanks for all the work you're putting in.

> **a.       ***Open development and aid flow *exploring developments in

> **b.      ***Open = accessible?* What are the practical issues for

> **c.       ***Technologies for open development.** *What role do ICTs and

>  ****

> **d.      **Plus two side events: 1 event for Finnish NGOs to come and
> learn more, and 2. A workshop/hackday or similar to take one specific
> sector (e.g. water, health) and practically work out how open data can make
