You may be interested, and it would be lovely to get people from the Open Heritage group more involved. (This reminds me to reach out to OKF proper, which I forgot to do. I am a Bad Citizen of the web.)

This is fantastic Matt, I personally would be really interested in
participating and I'm sure there are others (an OKF project that is
particularly close to my heart -- though sadly still far from perfect
is http://weavinghistory).

One minor thing: it looks like the event may partially clash with the
UK Gov Camp 2011 <http://ukgc11.eventbrite.com/> (which I'd been
planning to attend ...)

I should also mention in case you aren't aware (you probably are ;) )
of the plans for a Space-Time camp in spring 2011:

I imagine this would interest a similar audience?
