[open-government] Open Data and Locality

[Ton Zijlstra]

Hi Julian,

I certainly would be up for that. From multiple perspectives. In fact I had
already proposed a session on how local governments can see open data as
policy instrument to reach their own goals / save money. (Using open data
e.g. as the object of interaction with citizens. new ways of working need
new instruments, ogd being one of them).
I also proposed doing a talk on how to get things going locally. The latter
could certainly be joint thing. The former as well, I think, although I'm
not sure if you have worked on OGD from that angle much in Manchester.


Looking forward to seeing you again.

Ton
