[open-government] International Hackhaton - Communications and GTD

[Jonathan Gray]

Hi Pedro,

Great to hear that you are planning things in Brazil!

FYI I just created a pad for a planning session on the hackathon at
the London camp (provisionally facilitated by David Eaves if he's
happy to do this!):

Answers to a few things inline below...

If useful we can use OKF IRC channel, which is currently used for all
kinds of open data stuff. Details at:

http://okfn.org/contact/

We could also set up a dedicated #opendata channel. ;-)

> One etherpad per country/'instance of event' for the actual document

If useful I can set up opendataday.okfnpad.org and give folks admin
access to create new pages. Alternately anyone can set up as many pads
as they like on okfnpad.org already.

Very interesting! Definitely would love to see more documentation
along these lines! Anyone know about any other relevant material?
