[open-government] Local Open Government events

Thu Nov 25 11:11:19 UTC 2010

Very glad you raised this Julian. Yes we would very much like it if
the Open Government Data WG could curate a calendar (or series of
calendars) for open government data related events. We're not sure
whether it would be better to have:

  (i) a number of different calendars which we then federate
  (ii) a single calendar with lots of events in different locations

Does anyone have any ideas on this? Anyone interested in helping to
curate? Ideally we'd like to have a designated person in each country
to keep an eye on relevant events. Particularly within Europe...

All input greatly appreciated! ;-)

All the best,

Jonathan
