[open-development] Open Dev. planning session WED 16th 9am GMT = 10am BST

Thu May 10 16:40:54 UTC 2012

Dear Mika,

I would like to join the session on Wednesday and learn about the plans
made so far.

OpenEconomics and OpenSpending would have a planning session later on
Wednesday and hopefully we can integrate some of our ideas (
http://econ.okfnpad.org/WGmeeting)

If anybody is interested in cooperating on the Economics of Cities -
opportunities for local communities and people living in urban areas, we
would also connect with the Living Labs Global (
http://www.livinglabs-global.com/), who have an extensive and growing
network of contacts to local governments and technical solution providers.
I recently attended the Rio Summit with Rufus and spoke with them about
having possibly events which engage civil society more and give a chance to
work with open city data - e.g. Code for Cities. Urban data i.e. transport
and urban mobility data is also very interesting.

We are also interesting in working on standards - both in reporting results
in social science research and also standards for releasing fiscal data.

Look forward to hearing more from all of you! If there an Etherpad or
online collaborative document?
