[open-development] Development stream at the OGDCamp, OKCon and the Open Knowledge Festival 2012 in Helsinki

[Tim Davies]

Hey Sarah,

This sounds like a great idea. I'll check with the AidInfo/IATI team, but
I'm sure there will be interest in linking up on something.

If it's useful I've just set up an (empty at the moment...) etherpad at
http://opengovernmentdata.okfnpad.org/open-development-okfest2012 which
could be used to start collating ideas and supporters for something...

All the best

Tim

> For this festival – the first of its kind in the world – we are bringing Open
> Government Data Camp <http://okfestival.org/open-government-data-camp/> (OGDCamp)
> and Open Knowledge Conference<http://okfestival.org/open-knowledge-conference/> (OKCon)
> to the same place to provide new opportunities for collaboration. We’ll
> start the week by supporting practitioners working in the fields of open
> government and municipal data, and end it by exploring the diversity of
> open knowledge initiatives from a global perspective. The organising team,
> a talented gathering of Finns and leaders from around the world, are
> already hard at work planning a busy week of seminars, workshops, lectures,
> hackathons, keynotes, coding jams and interactive media sessions that will
> bring together participants from a wide variety of backgrounds in new ways.

>
> Most importantly, we want your ideas to be highlighted at OKFest. We are
> currently looking for proposals regarding sessions, satellite events,
> research streams, hackathons, lecture topics and other forms of
> collaboration. Have a great project or idea that you want to share with the
> global community? This is the place to do it. Join our public discussion
> list and say hello here<http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfestival-coord> and
> start finding collaborators on Twitter using the hashtag #okfest<https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/okfest>

> We look foward to seeing you in Helsinki, Finland this September for a
> week of new friends, open knowledge and global inspiration with a Nordic
> twist!****
