Hi Tariq,

Thanks for forwarding this to the list. One practical question though, what's the proposal submission deadline?

Cheers,
Josema.

> With both an "Open Government" and "Open Development" perspective, the theme of the conference is "Putting Data to Work". We're looking for practical, technology and policy focussed contributions that address key questions like:
> 
> -  What is the story of open government data over the last two years and how are we seeing the data put to work?
> -  Are Open Development and Open Government really social and economic opportunities?
> -  How do we avoid the trap of focusing just on compliance rather than the full potential of Open Data?
> -  What are successful applications involving citizen-generated data and it's combination with official sources?
> -  How to manage your government data assets with the same rigor and consideration as any piece of public infrastructure? Should we be investing in open data at a time of fiscal austerity?
> - What open data related standards and policies are most useful?
> - What is the intersection of Big Data and Open Data? What role does cloud computing have to play?
> 
> This will be a high-level event with international government, private sector and civil society participation and although the number of formal session slots is limited, there will be other opportunities to participate and network, including lightning talks and an un-conference / open space. 
> 
> Look forward to hearing from you!
