[open-government] OK Fest: Open Data Updates from around the World on Tuesday 18 September:

Fri Sep 14 16:11:12 UTC 2012

To kick off the OK Fest Open Government/Open Data stream on Tuesday 18
September I'm moderating a session at 1130-1300 at which there will an
opportunity for people to update their fellow attendees briefly about
progress (or lack of it) in their country on Open Data and Open Government.
We already have contributions from the UK, US, Netherland, Argentina and
South America, Brasil, France and South Africa.

It would be really great to have some more volunteers to cover other
countries - particularly Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy, Eastern Europe,
Africa, Asia, Canada and Mexico.

What we are looking for is short and snappy contribution from the floor for
about 2 or 3 minutes - and without slides please! Ideally you should give 

* one or two positive things which have happened in the last year (since
OGDCamp Warsaw) - new developments, key data releases

* one or two things which are not so good and what is being done about them

* what you think the key challenge for the next year is.

To help focus, you might like to think in terms of what the five tweets
about your country should be!

I hope that you will consider volunteering to do a short piece about your
country.  If you are willing to do so please drop me an email on
andrew.stott at dirdigeng.com or DM me on @dirdigeng 

Regards

Andrew Stott
