[open-development] Making it Matter Workshop: Supporting education in the developing world through open and linked data - slides, videos, images etc.

[Marieke Guy]

Dear All,

I have also now added a blog post on the breakout group sessions 
<http://linkedup-project.eu/2014/05/21/what-we-learnt-at-making-it-matter/> 
in which we tackled the following questions:

  * What real world problems are there related to education in the
    developing world that could potentially be solved by data and
    technology solutions?
  * What data is out there and what data could be released to aid
    education in the developing world?
  * Next Steps -- what are we going to do?

I think the answers are potentially very useful but there is probably 
more that could be added. If you have any thoughts then please 
contribute to the etherpad 
<http://new.okfnpad.org/p/Making_it_Matter_workshop_16_May_2014>. Note 
that you can actually see some of the discussions in action as the 
breakouts were videoed 
<http://linkedup-project.eu/2014/05/20/making-it-matter-slides-videos/>.

Thanks

Marieke
