[OpenGLAM] OKFestival: Call for Proposals open until 16 March

Fri Mar 7 20:08:45 UTC 2014

Hi Lieke and all,
Wearing both my Historypin and LODLAM hats, I'd love to be involved in the Open Data in Cultural Heritage sprint, which is critical work, as we've discussed before (btw, thrilled to just read about this legal working group [1] some of you are involved in!). 

I'd also like to put forward a working session on Crowdsourcing, Engagement & Enrichment, exploring what to do with all this content that is becoming available, and how to maximize social good.  Haven't sorted out the details yet and tons of people to pull into--please let me know if folks want to join up on this sort of session.

Thanks! Jon

Under the title 'Open Minds to Open Action', the festival will focus on unlocking, expanding and sharing knowledge through open access, open research data, open educational resources, open culture, open science, data journalism and campaigning, data visualisation and literacy.

The call for proposing sessions is open until 16 March: you can find further details on how to submit here: http://2014.okfestival.org/programme/propose-a-session/.
