It will be facilitated by Heather Leson (community builder at Open 
Knowledge) with talks from:

  * Marieke Guy (Open Education Working Group, LinkedUp Project)
  * Otavio Ritter (Open education data researcher, Getulio Vargas
    Foundation, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Otavio will be sharing his
    findings from work on paper involving a comparative analysis of
    school open data in England and Brazil and the availability
    (transparency) of government information related to
    primary/secondary education area.

There will also be plenty of time for furthering the excellent recent 
discussion that has taken place on the Open Education mailing list 
around the value of open data to open education (details 
<https://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/open-education/2014-June/thread.html>).

We hope to see you there!!
