Hi,

In Finland we have new prime minister (the whole government didn't
change though). She inserted one very important sentence in the
official agenda of the current government (one year until the next
elections).

"The government will make principle decitions that enable opening up
the data sources managed by the public sector organizations.."

-this means that the law changes that are needed to get many important
data sources available free of charge can be made straight after the
next elections 2011.

Because of this I got invited to speak about open data to an event in
the Finnish parliament 30th on June.

My question for you: "Do you have eny mentions about open data in the
official agenda of your countrys agenda" (sorry I don't know the right
word for this agenda paper, but propably you get the point)

It would be great to give a glimpse of development from different
European countries.

BR,

-Jogi from Finland
